Now in its seventh year, the BBC Young Writers' Award with Cambridge University invites all young people in the UK aged between 14-18 years to submit stories of up to 1,000 words.
Broadcaster Katie Thistleton will be chairing the judging panel.
The Award shortlist will be announced on Radio 1's Life Hacks in September.

The shortlisted writers are also invited to take part in a creative writing workshop with a leading writer and the winner will receive a special one-to-one mentoring session with an author.
The BBC Young Writers' Award with Cambridge University was launched as part of the tenth anniversary celebrations for the BBC National Short Story Award and aims to inspire and encourage the next generation of writers.
