Fantasy Drabble Contest 2026

Can YOU spin a fantastical tale, in EXACTLY 100 words?

No more, no less, Title Not Included: that's a DRABBLE! 

Whether it’s Epic, Urban, Cosy, or any other fantasy subgenre you love, whether it contains dragons or mermaids or devils getting stroppy with large rocks, your Drabble could win a prize and be read out as part of our poetry event - A Hive of Fantasy, on Friday 12 June. 

​

There are 3 age categories:

• Up to 11

• 12 - 16

• 17 and over

​

To enter, simply email your drabble to us by 8 June, including your name and if you're under 18, your age. 

​

Good luck! ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
