With signature words ‘rock’ and ‘shadow’, it seems possible that 2009’s Sydney Youth Writing competition is at risk of being flooded with some superhero-heavy stories. You know, like, “Igneous-Man takes on the Shadow Puppets of Evil in an epic Earth-shattering battle”. Or possibly not, as no doubt kids in years 3-6 have much more creative mojo just waiting to be put to paper. And this competition – with prizes and publication on offer – is the perfect chance to do just that, either in story format (1000 words), a play (two A4 pages) or a poem (up to 25 lines). Last year the awards ceremony was hosted by, “Australia’s greatest living writer,” David Malouf. How many mini-Maloufs will be discovered this year, we wonder?
Open until Sept 5, applications and more information here sydneyyouthwriting.com
