Two Minute Tales

3rd Nov 2020

BBC Northern Ireland's Two Minute Tales is a short story competition for 5-16 year-olds aimed at promoting creativity and imagination.

The theme this year is A Christmas to Remember, but this must not be the title of the story.

Please see the website below for more information and details on how to enter the competition.

Parents must submit their child’s story before 8pm on Friday 13th November.

Entries will be sorted into three age categories: 5 - 8, 9 -13 and 14 - 16.

9 entries will be shortlisted (3 in each age category) and will be voiced by an actor before being broadcast on The Lynette Fay Show on BBC Radio Ulster in December 2020.

The overall winning entry in each category will be turned into an animation! 

The two runners-up in each category will receive a specially commissioned illustration of a scene from their story.

The final 9 Two Minute Tales and illustrations will feature in a downloadable digital storybook.

We can’t wait to read your Christmas stories.

Good luck!
