#6WordTales Writing Contest: World Storytelling Day – 19th March 2016

Our team wanted to something different to celebrate World Storytelling Day this year. We brainstormed, came up with ideas – another story writing contest, a story camp, a story exchange…we wanted something that was short and fun, and where we could get as many of our readers as possible to participate. Hence came up the idea of a “6 word story” contest. 6 prompts, 6 words, 1 story. Twitter was the obvious choice of platform for this contest, with its love for byte sized messages. So we launched the contest, which went on for 2 days – the weekend – 19th and 20th of March, 2016.

And what a response we got – 196 stories on the first day!

The consequent 48 hours were the toughest of our lives, trying to choose 6 best stories out of 196 phenomenal stories, each unique in its own way.
