Screen Your Story
I am writing to let you know about a writing competition called 'Screen Your Story'. Some of your children may have
taken part in the competition over the last few years. It is a chance for young storytellers to become a published
author and even have their story turned into a film. This year's theme is called 'An Unforgettable Place'. It can be any
place at all, a cupboard, a room, a building, a country, a planet. On land, in the sea – in the head!
Entries must be no longer than 500 words and need to be submitted by 28th February 2024. If your child would like
some tips on giving themselves the best chance of having their writing made into a film, as well as more information
about this year's theme, take a look at the website: https://www.screenyourstory.org/about. Entries can be submitted
directly by email to screenyourstory@gmail.com clearly labelled with your child's name, their age and school name.
Don't forget to also send a copy to their class teacher so that they can see the wonderful writing that is being
produced. Good luck to all the entrants! Miss Jobbins
