How to apply
The free to enter competition is open to Nottinghamshire pupils in School Years 4 to 10. In addition, a further category has been added for young adults age 18 or under.

The closing date for entries is Monday 30 July 2012.
Prizes
Finalists will be presented with their prizes by Michael Cox, a Nottinghamshire author of The Horrible Histories series at the 8th New Writers UK Book Fayre and Festival at County Hall, West Bridgford, on Saturday 22 September 2012.
