Creativity Contest by 24by7 Publishing: A Global Platform for Creative Talent
Unleash Your Inner Genius — Wherever You Are in the World
Are you a writer, poet, storyteller, or any kind of creative soul with a flair for the English language? Then here’s your golden opportunity to showcase your creativity to the world and earn recognition, rewards, and the satisfaction of competing on a prestigious global platform. Presenting the Creativity Contest by 24by7 Publishing—an international contest curated exclusively for creative individuals who understand English and have a unique voice to share.
Whether you’re from India, the USA, Bangladesh, Nigeria, Canada, or anywhere else in the world—if you understand English, you are eligible. We believe creativity has no boundaries, and at 24by7 Publishing, we’ve created a global stage where ideas matter more than location.
What Is the Creativity Contest?
The Creativity Contest is an online competition organized by 24by7 Publishing, one of India’s leading hybrid publishing houses. This initiative is aimed at providing creative individuals—regardless of age, nationality, or professional background—an opportunity to express themselves in English across various categories. Whether you’re passionate about writing short stories, poetry, essays, or experimental narratives, this contest is for you.
But it doesn’t end there. We’re also open to other creative formats that use the English language as the medium—like comics, audio storytelling, spoken-word poetry, satire, social commentaries, and more. The contest is dynamic, inclusive, and flexible. All you need is a spark of originality and a love for the English language.

Creative Freedom
We don’t believe in boxed-in rules. While the language must be English, the format is up to you—short stories, essays, fictional letters, rhymes, stream-of-consciousness monologues—let your creativity flow in the format you love.
Who Can Participate?
The answer is simple: anyone who knows English.
Whether you’re a student, teacher, working professional, homemaker, or retired individual, if you understand and can express yourself creatively in English, you’re eligible. There is no bar of age, nationality, profession, or experience. You don’t need to be a published author or hold a degree in literature. What matters is your creativity.
We encourage participation from:
- Amateur writers
- Poets
- Bloggers
- Podcasters (for English spoken word or narrative scripts)
- School and college students
- Freelancers and content creators
- Aspiring authors and hobbyists
- Non-native English speakers with a flair for the language
Even if English is your second or third language, you’re most welcome. We value expression over perfection.
Contest Categories
To ensure everyone finds a space that suits their skill set, the Creativity Contest features multiple categories. Here are some of the major ones:
1. Short Story (Fiction)
Write an original short story in English within a specified word limit. The story can belong to any genre—romance, thriller, sci-fi, drama, slice of life, mystery, horror, or experimental fiction.
2. Poetry
Submit a single poem or a set of thematically connected poems. All poetic styles are welcome—rhymed, free verse, haiku, narrative poetry, blank verse, or experimental formats.
3. Essay/Opinion
If you have an informed perspective on a social issue, a current trend, or even personal insights that deserve a platform, this is your category. Your voice can make a difference.
4. Satire and Humor
Witty takes on society, politics, education, or everyday life—make us think while making us laugh. Be creative, intelligent, and bold.
5. Spoken Word Script / Audio Story Script
Got a powerful script for a podcast, audio drama, or spoken word performance? Submit the script in text format. It’s about the strength of your words, even if they’re meant to be spoken aloud.
6. Experimental / Fusion Writing
Do you like to mix genres or create something that doesn’t fit into a box? This is your playground. Combine poetry with narrative, storytelling with commentary, or add a meta layer to traditional formats.
