      That's a shame, I was going to upload my entry today. Perhaps next time let us know in advance if you plan to end the contest early as I'm sure others were also working hard on this competition. Congratulations to LaurieLamb.

    I was going to submit. If you wanted less days, you should have said only 1 day for us to know.

    Very interesting contest. Can you please wait till the contest end date, and not decide an early winner. I will submit one entry over the coming weekend. Thank you.

      I'm hoping to award the contract by the closing of the contest. If I don't have a winner by then, I'll extend for a short time.

      Sorry. Didn't really see the point, but I'm certainly willing. These stories will be provided for middle-income English as a first language parents who are considering attending our preschool to educate them. Stories must be grammatically correct and flow smoothly. I loved your "idea", but your mechanics were substandard.

      English is a tough language to master. Your story content was intriguing but you'll need more time, practice and instruction to share it in English in a way that doesn't distract from the story.

    For the contest you want us to submit only ONE story and an illustration, or all ten.

      One is great. We'll proceed with the other 9 when awarded.
