Are you a writer, or aspire to be one? Then read on - and have your story read on the radio!

We know that a lot of our readers love to write, so we thought we'd offer the opportunity to show off your skills! In celebration of International Children's Book Day, we've decided to run a writing contest.

The rules are simple:

• The story has to be between 200 and 300 words in total;
• It has to be written by you;
• And (of course) it should aimed at a younger audience (some call them children). 

Submissions will close on March 22, so make sure you get your story in before then. At that point we'll go through the stories, and a few of our editors and radio hosts will pick out their own personal favourite and record an audio version, which will be available on the site and played on RTL Today Radio.

All of our favourites will receive some RTL Today Radio swag (what that is, exactly, will be a surprise).. and we'll ask our audience to vote for their favourite, and that story will win a bigger prize... but again, we're keeping the prize secret for now!
