In 2024, following a hiatus in 2023, the Hunter Writers’ Centre is thrilled to announce the reopening of the Grieve Project. We invite writers and storytellers nationwide to participate in the Grieve Project, which will commence in March 2024. This year, we are expanding the scope of storytelling genres to include prose, poetry, and a variety of multimedia formats such as film, audio, graphic storytelling, and visual imagery.
The competition will culminate in the creation of an anthology that captures the diverse voices and experiences of grief and loss. Additionally, a public event will be hosted in the Hunter region and streamed online, providing a platform for participants to share their work and engage with the community. We are excited to see how this expansion will enrich the storytelling landscape of the Grieve Project and further amplify the voices of those touched by grief and loss.
