Ladies and gentlemen, we are proud to announce the first of our summer competitions!

It's quite simple: send us a "virtual postcard" from anywhere you like. The only rule is that it mustn't be from a real holiday! It's all about imagination... Where would you send a postcard from? An exotic beach? A space station? The inside of a basilisk? It can be as wonderful or as crazy as you like.

Write your postcards in this thread - you've got until Thursday 24th August, then we'll declare a winner and send you a marvellous prize (which we haven't quite thought of yet...)

Good luck,

The Youngcarers.net team.
