Welcome to the Royal Mint Museum’s Short Story Competition pages.
For the fifth year running, we are holding our annual Short Story Competition. Open to Primary school pupils aged 8 to 11, students are invited to submit a story of no more than 500 words based around a chosen topic.
This year's topic is Sustainable Futures. Over the last few years the Royal Mint has been moving toward a more sustainable way of working by increasing its use of renewable energies and changing what we do by building a new precious metal recycling department on our site in South Wales. As we are looking to the future, we’d like you to do the same with your story.
Read our inspiration pages to find out how the Royal Mint is moving toward a more sustainable future, hopefully this will help to inspire you and give you some ideas for your story.
The competition will be open for entries from 17th February until 25th April. Winners will be announced on our website in May.
Please note that due to the very high numbers of expected entries, we will only be able to contact you if you have won a prize.
