Explorit invites you to write an original, imaginative short story (up to 1,000 words) or poem that involves some real spider science. You have until September 30, 2012 to submit it to us.

Explorit will review the stories and poems as they are received. We will post a selection of entries from, adults (18 and above), youth (13 - 17), and children (6-12 and 3-5) on this site.

Now you'll probably want to know:

What should I write?
How do I submit it?
Can you give me some ideas?

You will need to register at the Explorit website in order to obtain a personal CSP ID number.

All entrants retain their copyright to their entries. Explorit has permission only to publish for this one occasion unless the copyright holder subsequently gives written permission otherwise.
