Teachers have the most fascinating, difficult, and important job on the planet, and their workdays are filled with stories. Yet teachers seldom appear in fiction. This annual contest was created to inspire great stories about teachers and the rich and crazy world of schools.

The winning story will be published in A Public Space’s print edition and the author will receive $1 000.

The story must be a work of fiction between 6 to 499 words. The protagonist or narrator must be a K-12 teacher. Submissions should be primarily in English.

The submission deadline is the 1st of September 2024.

"Sestigduisend boeke en hordes sakke later, morge se grondpad ry agter plaaskinders aan, en ons is hiér. Hier waarvan ek so lank gedroom het. Die kinders gaan nou nie meer net een keer ’n jaar by die hek vir ons wag as ons met poppe en props en boeke en wat nog by hulle kom kuier nie. Nee, want met die Greater Stellenbosch Trust en die Social Employment Fund agter ons, kan die Stigting vanjaar dertig jongmense in diens neem wat elke liewe skooldag by die kinders gaan wees. Jong, slim mense vir wie daar nie werk is nie."
