Green Stories Competition
Nature is all around and we want to celebrate it.
We have created the SRUC Green Storytelling Prize to increase awareness about our planet earth and to appreciate the world that we live in. We want you to tell us about an experience you have had with nature. This can be anything, from something in your own garden to a walk in the woods, a trip to the seaside or a trip to a National Park, the possibilities are endless. Let us know what inspired you and why. Turn your experience into a story and send it in to win prizes for you and your school.
To enter, we need you to tell us a story. Stories come in all shapes and sizes. We don't need you to write a best-selling novel, in fact, you don't even need to include any words. Stories can be drawings. Stories can be poems. You could make us a PowerPoint or recreate your story in a video. Or, of course, you can send us short written stories (max 750 words).
Submit your story
