Looking for Something to Do?
The Children's Bookshow Competition
The competition, launched by the children's writer and illustrator Jessica Souhami, has two categories: the under-nine's and nine to 13-year-olds.
Children are asked to choose their favourite fairy or folk tale and set it in an extraordinary place.
Then they are to retell it with the aid of drawings and writings – whether it is set at sea, on a distant planet, in the future or in the past. The closing date for the competition is 30 November.
"Tell your tale in pictures and in words," say the organisers of the competition. "It can be in a picture book or comic-book format."
The winner of each competition will receive a signed copy of a book by each of the 12 authors involved in this year's tour, plus £150 worth of books for their school. The runners-up will receive a signed copy of Souhami's new book.
Entries should be emailed to thechildrensbookshow@gmail.com and include the competitor's name, age, address and telephone number and the name of their school. In the meantime, keep scribbling!
