Doncaster's Great Green Escape competition

Screenshot 2023-09-15 162748

What would it be like to be a wild creature in Britain today? What threats does the wildlife in our country face? How would wild animals escape this danger and stay safe?

Write a short story about a British creature experiencing a narrow escape and you could win one of our amazing prizes - including a bespoke Eco Zone tailored for your school or local area, thanks to our friends at Rotary.

We've put together some simple guidelines to help inspire and develop your stories, which you can download here.

How to enter:

Keep your stories to approximately 500 words or fewer. Make sure your name, age and school are easily identifiable, then email to Doncaster Stories or post to:

The Literacy Lab,
National Literacy Trust,
Mexborough Business Centre,
College Road,

S64 9JP

Please get your entries to us before Friday 8th December 2023.
