We are asking for your Chengdu tales. Be it a story of love set against the Sichuan landscape, a haiku on fire-breathing pandas or an investigation into labor practices in rural factories, we want to hear about it. The three categories, fiction, non-fiction and poetry, give each and every one of you the opportunity to deliver your absolute best in whatever genre you hold most dear (Terms & Conditions).

Once submitted, each entry will go through a rigorous assessment by the Ctrip English editorial team. From the original submissions, finalists for fiction, non-fiction and poetry will be eligible for public voting. The top entries in each category will be passed on to our panel of judges for the final decision.
