Rise Up! Regional Writers Short Story Competition
Federation University Australia students are hosting the ‘Rise Up’ short story competition as part of the inaugural Regional Writers Rise festival. People of all backgrounds and abilities are encouraged to enter and the competition seeks to amplify voices that challenge the norm – offering fresh perspectives and enriching the literary world with their untold stories. The short story of 1000 words or under can be fiction or autobiographical fiction and should explore the theme of ‘new beginnings’. First prize is $500 and a 12-month subscription to quarterly Gippsland newspaper, Gippslandia.
Submissions close 19 May; learn more and submit.
