Hey! I’m under 15 and I’m interested in this. But before I register, could you please specify what age level should our writings be? And also, will our ages be shared publicly? Plus is there any word limit? Sorry for the questions and Thanks!

Hi there! Good questions – no need to apologize! ๐
What do you mean by age level?
No, unless you want us to, we won’t reveal your exact age. But if you do win, we have to reveal what age category you’re in.
There is no word limit – however please make sure that it’s a short story and not too long. Less than 5 pages on Word.
Thank you very much, if you have any other questions, please don’t hesitate to ask! Happy writing! ๐

Thank you!
I meant, for what age group or for what ages should our writings be directed at? A teenager would find a particular story boring, but someone under the age of 12 might enjoy it. So what age should we keep in mind when writing?
Thank you for answering my queries! This competition definitely seems interesting! Thanks. =)

Oh, yes, well whatever age you are, write for that age or older. We’ll be judging according to the age category.
No problem! In the meantime, do share the news about this comp! ๐โจ

Hey Rishika, yes, there might be runner ups. It’s a bit muddled at the moment since no one in one category entered.. So I don’t know yet. But I think there might be.
