To celebrate the 100th anniversary of Reader’s Digest, we’re relaunching our much-loved 100-Word-Story Competition with prizes of up to £1,000 to be won. There are three categories: one for adults and two for schools: one for children aged 12–18 and one for children under 12. UK based entries only.
Our 100-Word-Story Competition is your chance to show the world your story-telling talents. Your stories should be original, unpublished, and exactly 100 words! Multiple entries are allowed per person.
The editorial team will pick a shortlist of three in each category and post them online on 1st June 2022. You can vote for your favourite, and the one with the most votes will scoop the top prize. Voting will close on 30th June 2022 and winners will be published in our September issue.
