WRiting Contest #1

Change is a universal experience—whether it’s starting a new grade, a shift in relationships, a change in the seasons, society, or even the environment around you. It can be thrilling, challenging, or bittersweet. We want to hear your stories about how change impacts people, places, or ideas. Let your words explore the many aspects of change, from the quiet moments of growth to the sweeping forces that alter lives forever.
We invite all BASAuthors to participate in our Story Writing Contest, centered on the powerful theme of "Change."
