Specsavers wants to hear from little ones who enjoy telling tall tales. The company has just launched its annual short story competition, calling on budding authors to submit their most creative compositions.

Fantastic prizes are up for grabs. Winners in both the junior and senior categories will receive €500 for their school library as well as all the shortlisted children’s titles at this year’s An Post Irish Book Awards.
