The Guardian has reopened submissions for its Young Country Diary series, inviting children aged 8 to 14 to write about their recent encounters with nature for a chance to be published.
The wildlife series, published roughly every three months, asks young contributors to describe a specific moment with the natural world, whether it involves a hedge full of berries, a beetle on the move, or a deer spotted nearby.
According to the publication, the submissions are intended to capture first-hand, personal observations of the autumn season from a child's perspective, continuing a format the series has used in previous rounds.
The call is aimed specifically at young writers within the stated age range, with The Guardian selecting entries for publication as part of the ongoing series.
Further details on how to submit an entry, including any specific guidelines or deadlines, were directed to the publication's own submission channels.
