I generally have trouble finding interesting things for young writers in Australia to do, so I was pretty excited to find out that there are a whole load of writing activities going on at the moment! And by a whole ton, I mean the three writing competitions I found. Trust me, three is a lot more than I normally find.
If you're in Western Australia, the Tim Winton Award for Young Writers is coming up! It's open to students aged 5 to 18, or anyone in the school years 1 to 12. Entries open June 13th, and they close July 4th. Interested? Well you've got plenty of time to come up with an entry!
The Fellowship of Australian Writers WA is also holding a writing competition. It's open to anyone aged 21 or under - sounds pretty good, huh? Entries close on June 30th!
And lastly, Express Media are hosting a writing competition, open to all Australians 18 and under. There's a huge range of cool stuff in the prizes, it's not an opportunity to miss out on! Entries close on July 1st.
Definitely some snazzy sounding competitions, eh? Good luck with them! (Psst - if you haven't guessed already, I'm entering all three).
