Children's TV show Blue Peter has launched its "Amazing Authors" competition, giving five to 15-year-olds the chance to showcase their talent.

All they have to do is write by their own short story or poem, giving them the opportunity to win an amazing assortment of incredible prizes, including meeting one of the UK’s biggest children’s authors and McFly’s Tom Fletcher.

Not only that, but Tom will also read the children’s work and it will become an audio book on BBC Sounds.

Other prizes also include going behind-the-scenes to see how books are published and receive their story or poem in print.

The character’s adventure will also be animated by Aardman to create a wonderful story which will be shown on Blue Peter and CBeebies Bedtime Stories.

The winner will receive a framed picture from the animation and an Orange Competition Winner’s badge.

To enter the Competition entrants must write an original short story or poem in under 400 words, which captures the idea of adventure and features exciting characters.

The Blue Peter’s Amazing Authors competition will close at 5pm on Wednesday March 8 2023.
