I’ve been to more than ten schools in the last month and the creativity of the children never ceased to amaze me. The children came up with wonderful ideas, drawings and stories and they were so enthusiastic that even joint collaborations didn’t faze them.
So I decided what better way to launch the start of the Easter Break? Before all that fire dies down and the story is put away, here is a chance to send it in.
Who is Eligible?
If you are a student from any of the schools I’ve visited over January to March 2015, you are eligible to participate.
What should I send?
Your story should be typed up and emailed to me with the following details.
Name:
Age:
Year-Group and Class:
School Name:
Story Title:
And then attach the story. If you want to draw and scan in the pictures, that’s wonderful too.
What story should I write?
Your story should have the theme of JUSTICE. This is to celebrate Prince Veera and his friend Suku from A Dollop of Ghee and a Pot of Wisdom.
Your story should be between 400 and 1200 words.
You can send in your story all through April until 30th April 2015. If you send it later, you won’t be considered for the competition prize. But you would still be eligible for the publication in Shoutabout Magazine.
Remember to get the permission of an adult before you send your story. Do not send any personal details or photos of yourself.
Will my story be published?
Yes, I’m a member of CWISL who manage the ShoutAbout Magazine for children. I will work with the editors to get your story published. If you miss the deadline of 30th April 2015, your story would be recommended for the autumn edition of the magazine in September/October.
Where should I send it?
Email it to storytrain@chitrasoundar.com. You will only be able to send via email. So do type up the story on the computer and save it into a Word or Pages or PDF file.
If you didn’t come to my school, but if I still want to send my story, what should I do?
You can directly send your story to ShoutAbout Magazine. Find out more here.
