Win up to £150.00 in the Jacqui Bennett Writers Bureau short story competition. Make real money from your writing. Study the following three photos, and then write a story based (as loosely as you like) around one. Let your imagination run riot - the images alone should inspire you.

If none of the above photos inspires you, don't worry. You can submit a story in any genre - humorous, romantic, thriller, horror etc. - and on any theme. It can be written with either adults or children in mind. You could try a short story with a twist in the tail, a spooky ghost story, or something entirely different - it's up to you. Alternatively, you may submit the opening pages of a novel.
