Short Story Writing Competition

This is a long-overdue announcement.

Details of the competition, organised by MPH, are here.

I'm supposed to be one of the judges of the teen category, and I'm looking forward to the experience, but dreading it too.

The last time I judged a writing competition (for teens) was in 2003 and most of the stories were angst-ridden or absolutely heart-wrenching. Are teenagers really going through hell or do their hormones just tell them so?

Hi Josette! I had a really short fuse as a teenager but my writing wasn't angry at all - probably because I let it all out "live". :-D

Haha! I guess some teens are an angry lot. I was one too but thankfully, I grew out of it. :) Good luck judging the entries!
