Bush Poetry Competition
It’s not very often that we hear of a writing competition that is free to enter and that gives actual monetary prizes. However, that is exactly what the 2010 Unity Bryan Kelleher Literary Award offers.
They are asking for up to 3 entries of Australian bush poetry by June 30th 2010. So if you want to enter you’ll need to move fast. Even if you don’t usually enter competitions or write poetry, why not have a go? It could be fun.
For those who are unfamiliar with the term ‘Australian bush poetry’, it means rhyming poetry with a predictable syllable count written about some aspect of Australia.
When is your next competition?
Jean, I just revisited the website and it would appear that their bush poetry comp is an annual one. So I would suggest you check out their website early next year and they will probably have the deadline dates for 2011 up them. Here is the address: http://www.australianunity.com.au/au/info/kelleher_lawson/
The results of this year’s comp will be out in September, if you wanted to get an insight into what wins.
