Challenge
Imagine yourself in an “Imaginary World”. Who would you be? Where would you be? Winnie the Pooh in the 100 Acre Wood, Harry Potter at Hogwarts or Long John Silver on Treasure Island- these are just a few well known examples from the world of literature.
You do not need to write a whole story; just focus on crafting an episode which really brings you and your imaginary land to life.
The judges will be looking for:
Interesting character(s) in memorable settings
Clever plot choices and well chosen dialogue
The ability to create emotion
