In Shrewsbury International School Bangkok, there are many exciting competitions which go on all the time. One of them is called “The short story competition”. This competition is organised by Mr. Carr for FOBISSEA. FOBISSEA means the Federation of British International Schools in South East Asia. There are many FOBISSEA competitions for sport, music, drama and English.   The Short  Story competition is open to Junior students [7-10 year olds] and Senior students [11-18 year olds]. You have to write a story based on the theme “lost”. It can be any thing about “lost” such as lost memory, lost things, lost parents and others!!!! However you have to use at least 600 words! 1000 words in Senior School! Initially stories will be judged by Teachers in Junior and Senior School.  The best story from Junior and the best story from Senior will then be put together with the top stories from all the other FOBISSEA schools. These stories are sent off to a famous judge who will choose the best stories and name two winners. The famous judge of this year’s competition is the Australian author John Marsden. The lucky winner’s story will be put onto the FOBISSEA website. They also receive a really nice trophy.
