We welcome entries from students around the world aged 4-14, or in elementary and middle school.

We also encourage high school students to get involved through our Team Member form.

Please submit your story here.

We look forward to reading your piece soon - all submissions before the 10th will receive FREE feedback that writers can use to revise and resubmit. Good luck!

You can resubmit your story through our submission form on our website; our system will automatically group your revised story next to your original one!

No - your story will not be disqualified as long as it is no more than slightly (15 words maximum) over the 350 word limit.

However, we highly recommend that you challenge yourself to keep your story's length less than or equal to 350 words.

Participating in our competitions provides the unique opportunity to gain early creative writing practice not usually avaliable in schools. By experimenting with their words at a young age, students can gain a deep appreciation of the english language and understand its inherent power to facilitate lasting change in their lives and communities.

Additionally, through our free, personalized feedback program, the FSF team will identify existing strengths each student's writing and provide detailed written guidance on how they can elevate their prose.

We believe the opportunity to showcase one's talents should be avaliable to all social groups. We want everybody to be able to learn as much as possible from their participation in our competitions. Thus, our writing competitions are, and will always be, 100% free.

All English competitions are completely virtual to ensure ease of access for everyone. Competitions open on the first of every month and close on the 28th of the month. You can submit as long as it is the 28th somewhere in the world. Results are announced sometime the third week of the month. Submissions go here!
