Bring a place alive!

The Geographical Association is running a competition where they would like you to write a short story.

"We'd like you to write a story about somewhere important to you - it can be fact or fiction, set at any time in the past, present or future. Maybe your parents or grandparents have told you about what your local area was like when they were young. How have things changed? Can you imagine what it might have been like in your neighbourhood 25, 50 or even 100 years ago? What do you think your area will look like in the future? You could write a story about somewhere you've been on holiday, or a distant place you would like to visit... The decision is yours! We'll be looking for creative and exciting stories which bring places to life and bonus points will be awarded for including photographs or drawings."

Your short story should be no more than 750 words. Prizes will include fiction books as well as having your work published in both the Geographical Association magazine and website. For more information see Miss Habib.

These entries should be handed in to Miss Habib by Thursday 23rd October 2008.
