For February there are three themes to choose from: -
 

1. Write a short story on a theme of either or both World Wars. The story can be true or fiction and either a personal account or written in the third person.
2. For the animal lovers there is the chance to win £100 by writing a story with a border collie(s) central to the plot. Again, these stories can be fictional or a true life experience.
3. The third theme is of Easter. Write a story of any style, set in any period which centres on Easter.

All stories must be no more than 2,500 words and must reach us by 1st March 2010. An entry fee of £5.00 is required for EACH story submitted (max 3 stories per person)
