Storywriting Competition

The Adventures of Little O

Who’s Little O? Only you know!

Might be an old old man, might be a baby, might be an animal, might be a ghost or a puppet. Only you know – where and why Little O went, and what happened next.

The entrants wrote us a story titled The Adventures of Little O. They were told to make it as fantastic and exciting as they can. Maybe it’s a scary tale to make hearts go bump and hairs stand on end!

Entrants were aged 7 to 13. Winners received a family ticket to a festival performance of their choice, and a £15 book token, as well as the chance to have their stories read on Takeover Radio by a professional actor.

The stories published

The Spark Festival has been working with illustrator and artist Joe Wilson and students from St Paul's School to create illustrations for the winning stories. The stories and illustrations will then be printed as a book and distributed to all Leicester City Schools at the beginning of the Autumn Term.
