Your story must be:
- 800 words or fewer.
- Entirely your own personal work. Your story must not break any copyright laws. It can include quotes or other references if credit is clearly acknowledged.

- Accessible to any reader, regardless of geographical location, age or background. Please avoid jargon and spell out any acronyms used.
We recommend that you:
- Write naturally and from the heart. Use your own voice and write from your own point of view.
- Focus on the message(s) you wish to convey and leave out any unnecessary words.
- Focus on the place and experience, using emotive, descriptive language.
- Make your writing easy to scan by using short sentences and short paragraphs (2-3 sentences max).
- Be original. Don’t be afraid to speak your mind, be creative and even be a little controversial!
- Have a great title. Keep it simple, grab attention, make it descriptive and don’t be afraid to be creative!
