Winter Short Story Competition Launches at IES

Students in grades 4–9 are invited to submit handwritten creative stories for the IES Winter Short Story Competition by 27th November.

Internationella Engelska Skolan is launching an exciting creative challenge for students in grades 4–9. This term’s Short Story Competition invites young writers to explore the theme "Winter is coming" and showcase their imagination through original, handwritten storytelling.

Developing strong language skills and fostering a love for learning are central to our work at IES. As a bilingual school, we celebrate linguistic diversity and encourage students to express themselves in any of the primary languages taught across our curriculum.

Here are the key details for entering the competition:

Submission Deadline: All handwritten entries must be submitted by 27th November.
Word Count Guidelines: Students in grades 4–6 should aim for 300 to 400 words. Students in grades 7–9 should write between 600 and 800 words.
Language Options: Submissions may be written in Swedish, English, Spanish, French, or German.
Prizes & Recognition: Winners will earn house points for their team, a house pin, and additional prizes.

We encourage all students to take up the challenge, practice their writing skills, and contribute to our house spirit. We look forward to reading your entries!
