COMPETITION
The Storytelling Competition 2023 is supported by Avril Henry & Associates, South Coast Writers Centre, and State Library of NSW.
Storytelling Competition 2023 Winners!
Our theme this year was “Inhale” and entrants were clearly inspired by it. Top quality entries were received in all three categories – Primary School; Secondary School and Open Age. The volunteer experts who took part in our judging panels expressed their delight at the diversity of approaches writers took and were impressed with the strength authors managed to achieve in stories so brief in length.
