Closing date: 31 January 2021
Clean the spilt coffee out of your keyboard (or sharpen your goose quill, whichever is more appropriate) and start writing a 1500 word (max) story that will excite the judges. This is an open-themed award although there are three requirements:
- The story must be 1500 words or fewer in length;
- It must have a link, no matter how tenuous, to Australia; and
- It is written for an audience aged 16 and above.
The sponsor of this competition, Stringybark Publishing, has an award pool of over $1000 in cash and books to encourage you in this endeavour.
Entry fees: $14 for one story, $26 for two stories, $36 for three stories (max). Details at: www.stringybarkstories.net
