The Stories of Hope Short Story Contest was created to give refugee children the chance to share their dreams, journeys, and hopes with the world, despite the challenges they face. Children between the ages of 10 and 17 were invited to write short stories of 500–1,000 words, reflecting their experiences and aspirations.

Participants were encouraged to describe their journeys, their new lives, and their dreams for the future. To enrich their storytelling, they also had the option of adding a photo or video to their submissions.

Selected works will be compiled into a book and published on Amazon, ensuring these young voices reach audiences around the globe.
