Stories are always waiting for a new voice.

Following the lovely response to last year’s Young Narrators Contest, we are back with another opportunity for children to bring their favourite Karadi Tales stories alive through narration, expressions, and imagination.

With three categories; Kutty the Mouse (4–6), Meera the Monkey (7–8), and Babloo the Elephant (9–10), young storytellers can now take centre stage.

Entries close on 15 July 2026. We look forward to hearing the wonderful voices behind the stories.
