Chris Evans' 500 Word competition - winner announced
There were nearly 30,000 entries for Chris Evans' 500 Words writing competition for children - the winner was announced this morning during a live Radio 2 broadcast of Chris Evans' show from the Hay Festival. Isn't it fantastic to see so many young writers getting involved? The winner's story, and all fifty that were shortlisted, are on here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/shows/chris-evans/500-words/
Which is your favourite?

I'll be reading later when I have more time to do them justice.
And they're all children? Brilliant. :)
I guess this was only advertised on his show, was it? Only I don't listen to Radio 2 very often.
You can read the two winners there - can't see them on Chris Evans's link.
Hmm, not sure my nine-year-old son would say "She cursed herself," and he is quite a bright lad.
On the whole though, it's a creepy. I like the idea. Think I might ask him later what he thinks of it.
Hope I haven't been fooled. :(
