Dymocks and Pan Macmillan are inviting kids to get creative and enter a writing competition judged by the wonderful Andy Griffiths, author of the Treehouse Series. 

From the media release:

To celebrate the release of The 117-Storey Treehouse, we’re calling all Andy and Terry fans to knock our socks off with their imaginative short stories.

The one major prize winner will receive their story framed with illustrations by Terry Denton. The top 5 entries (including the winner) will each WIN* an Andy Griffiths book pack containing 8 books each supplied by Pan Macmillan valued at $116.88 each.

THIS YEAR’S THEME:
If you could add one level to Andy and Terry’s Treehouse, what would it be?
