📚 Every child has a story to tell - BBC 500 words is BACK!!

BBC 500 Words is the UK’s largest story-writing competition for 5–11 year-olds. Entries open at 8am on Tuesday 29 September and close at 9pm on Friday 6 November 2026.

BBC 500 Words is open to children wherever they are and however they learn. Whether they’re in school, learning in hospital, or home educated, every child can have a go at writing their own story.

The competition is all about creativity, and spelling, punctuation and grammar aren’t marked so children can focus on their ideas and let their imaginations lead the way.

Find resources to help inspire children here and get involved at bbc.co.uk/500words.
