500 WORDS – SHORT STORY WRITING COMPETITION
STANHOPE SHOW 2022

Want something to do on a rainy summer’s day? Now is your chance to make up your own story and enter our exciting competition.
This year there is a theme. To mark the historic Platinum Jubilee of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, we want you to write a short story featuring The Queen. Feel free to put Her Majesty in any world. She could meet the dinosaurs or even rocket into outer space. Let your imagination fly!
The only rules are that it must be your own original story, it must feature The Queen and it can’t be more than 500 words.
Please send all entries through your guardian, parent or teacher via email to our new email address:
