May Mystery Writing Competition

Wellington Girls' College —

Have you ever been frustrated with a disappointing reveal of a mystery book? Well, this is your chance to write your own story! The English Associates present our first writing contest: Mystery May! Embrace your inner Agatha Christie and write up a mystery story that keeps people on their toes.


There are two different categories: extended fiction (½ page to 1 page in length) or micro fiction (mysteries in 4 sentences or less). Everyone who enters gets a sweet treat (like a Freddo)! Plus, there are exciting prizes for both senior and junior winners.

Once you have written your mystery, email your story to Miya (jiangmi@wgc.school.nz) with the subject ‘Mystery May’. The stories are due on the 31st of May, so what are you waiting for? Get your thinking cap on, craft your mystery, and submit your story today!"
