100Words

The Writers Challenge

Each year since 2019, the Project has had a little challenge running.
The challenge is to produce an entire Tale in exactly 100 words.  A ‘Wilson’s Tale’ brought up to date, using words wisely and frugally to spin the yarn, as we do in our rewritten Tales, but in exactly 100 words.
The challenge has broadened, firstly to the public, and now to the World.  It started as a diversion at our annual dinner.  Now it is a global competition, with a small prize.  These pages chart the annual competitions.
In 2025 we re-introduce a category for school age children.
In 2024 we introduced the concept of the Audio Tale,  some of the entries can be heard and read on succeeding pages.
