Challenge
Write a 300-word story on the theme “The Letter”.
A letter can start a story in all kinds of exciting ways. It might be a letter your character receives, one they send, or even a letter that gets lost along the way. It could be magical, mysterious, funny, surprising or even life-changing.
You might be inspired by a real letter from history, a message from the future, a magical note that does something unexpected, or a meaningful exchange between characters.
The title can take your story in all sorts of directions. The possibilities really are endless.
The only rule: the letter must play an important role in the story.
Try to use imaginative descriptions as you create your characters and bring your setting to life. The judges will be looking for creative ideas, clear language and stories that really grab their attention.
Good luck! We can’t wait to see what adventures your story will send us on this year!
