]]> 2026-08-24 14:21:26 UTC https://padlet.com/GloucestershireAReadingCounty/GYORPC/wish/4016837522 BBC 500 Words GYOR26 https://padlet.com/GloucestershireAReadingCounty/GYORPC/wish/4016841955 500 Words is the UK's largest story-writing competition for 5-11 year-olds. This year, entries open from Tuesday 29 September and will close at 9pm, Friday 6 November.


500 Words celebrates children's creativity and imagination, encouraging young writers from across the UK to create an original story in 500 words or fewer.

There are two age categories: 5-7 and 8-11 year-olds.


Spelling, punctuation and grammar are not marked - as has always been the case for 500 Words, it's all about our writers' brilliant creativity!


This year, the celebrity judges include Charlie Higson, Francesca Simon, Sir Lenny Henry, Frank Cottrell-Boyce and Rose Ayling-Ellis.


The bronze, silver and gold winners in each age category will be revealed by the BBC in early March 2027. More details will be announced in the coming weeks.
