Organised by the Hunter Writers Centre, Grieve writing competition (for prose and poetry) is now in its 7th year. The competition is open to all Australians. As a not for profit organisation the organisers ensure that all monies made go back in to support the project.
Hunter Writers Centre is calling for poems up to 36 lines or stories/personal essays up to 500 words on loss and grief. Grief may be associated with the loss through death or separation, of any person or thing, e.g., family, friend, pet, relationship, occupation, money, housing, habitat/environment, independence, youth, health, mobility, freedom, etc.
