General information and conditions of entry on our website below.
It could be Our Street in olden times. Maybe during WW1 or WW2. Perhaps you were still at school and played outside, in the street with a ball or a skipping rope. Tell us a tale we'll enjoy reading and that'll transport our imaginations back in time.
You may have an idea for a story about Our Street that's different, maybe futuristic. Let your imagination roam and bring Star Wars to our kitchens, to the pavements outside our homes, or into the school down the road.
The modern world, with its mobile phones and internet, can be full of tales and incidents. Tell us a story that pins us to our chairs, brings sweat to our brows and touches our hearts.
