500 Bright Words

As part of Bright World's Keeping in Touch initiative, we are giving all of our students the chance to win a special prize, by taking part in our 500 Bright Words competition.

The objective is to write a story which is around 500 words long. This story can be fictional or non-fictional, but the topic should be centred around any positive or humorous situation which has arisen out of the current Coronavirus crisis. As examples, it could be something to do with increased phone contact with distant friends or family members, or perhaps a community really pulling together to help others. The idea is to share and celebrate any positive anecdotes which have come about as a result of our current sad situation.

This should also provide a good way for students to practice their English whilst they are back at home, or with their Bright World host family.

There are three great prizes on offer- 1st place will win a £100 Amazon voucher, 2nd place will win a £50 Amazon voucher, and 3rd place will win a £25 Amazon voucher. The winning entry will be read out by a special guest on one of Bright World's podcasts in May. All entries will be scored by our four judges, whose bios you will find below.

The competition is now OPEN. All entries should be submitted via the entry form linked below. The competition will end at midnight on Thursday 30th April.

Good luck!
