terms



There are two age groups to enter: 5-8 years and 9-12 years. Imagine that you are writing a postcard to a friend or relative from the most amazing place you have been. Or invent a place. Be sure to tell us everything that is special about it and see how well you can conjure it up in a few well-chosen words. You don't have to restrict yourself to sending in your entry on a postcard but the maximum number of words we're after is 300 for the 5-8 age group and 500 for the 9-12s.


Open to entrants worldwide aged 5-12 years, excluding employees of the Promoter, Penguin Books, Cedar Communications and their immediate families, their agents or anyone professionally associated with this promotion. Entries from those age 13 or under must be accompanied by written permission from a parent/guardian or with their written consent.
