Character Creation Competition
For ages 5 - 8

Draw a picture of your alien creation

Include anything you want us to know about them. (Name, age, favourite food...)
Get creative and design a new alien character. Will it have three heads? Tentacles instead of legs? Your imagination is the limit. So blast off into outer space and imagine what kind of characters you might meet.
Short Story
Competition
For ages 8 - 12
