A UK online creative writing competition, created by greenmetropolis.com to encourage reading, writing and recycling.

Entrants (children, teens and adult age categories) submit work to be voted on, and at the end of each month the winning entry becomes the next chapter of a book, which will be published in December 2008, with all proceeds going to The Woodland Trust.

The Green Story is a creative writing competition, where each month you can read the previous chapters and then write what you think the next chapter should be by submitting your own entry, or read and then vote on the latest entries.

So whether you see yourself as a reader or writer, you can take part in creating and shaping the Green Story. Just remember it’s your story, you decide how it goes!

There are adult, teen and children’s versions of the story and each story must have a ‘green’ theme which encourages all readers, young and old, to think about how we can best look after the environment.

The competition will run for 10 months to create a book with 10 chapters and then be published as ‘The Green Story’ book at the end of the year.

Each chapter must be written in the third person, rather than ‘first person’ viewpoint and should follow on from the previous winning chapter.
