Space Chariot is a family-friendly project. All work submitted should not contain unsuitable material such as; graphic violence, bad language and offensive content.
For this pilot project we are only able to accept submissions written primarily in English. We are in discussion with partners about how to open up future missions to writing in a broader range of languages.
We can accept poems of no more than 26 lines, prose of no more than 500 words and single page comics. Text submissions should be copy & pasted into the relevant part of our submissions form. Comics should be attached as a single image PDF/JPG.PNG. Writing sent in other formats will not be accepted.
Our project is designed to encourage and celebrate human creativity, in particular an appreciation of the processes of writing and reading for pleasure. For this reason we do not accept submissions which have been wholly or partially created using AI.
We are firmly committed to the rights of children to be safe and respected, in person and online, as outlined in recommendations and legislation such as the UNCRC and CIPA. Submissions should only be sent in by a responsible adult, with the express permission of the child who created it.
We reserve the right to reject submissions which do not clearly confirm to our submission guidelines.
We are so excited to read your work – well done on making something!
This form needs to be filled in by an adult: if you’re under the age of 18 then please ask one of your adults to help.
