Do you love writing? Do you have a story to tell? Living Stories is your opportunity to share your story!

Hawkesbury Library Service in conjunction with WestWords and WestLit Libraries presents Living Stories 2024, a writing competition for residents of Western Sydney with a prize pool of over $10,000.

This is your opportunity to express yourself by submitting a short story, poem or essay responding to the theme "the other city".  Entries will be judged locally, with regional winners going on to vie for the overall prize in their category.

Categories for entry are 10-12 years, 13-15 years, 16-18 years, and adults (18+).

All regional winners and highly commended entries will, in addition to a cash prize, have their work published in an anthology entitled Living Stories.

Entries open 22 March 2024 and close midnight, 6 May 2024, and must be submitted online.
