Tired of scratching around your pockets for money? Well it's time to get writing because The John Marsden Prize for Young Australian Writers 2009 has now opened. $4500.00 in prize money is up for grabs!
In its fifth year running, The John Marsden Prize offers the chance for young Australian writers to have their work judged by author John Marsden, be published in Voiceworks and receive some cash as well.
For poetry and short story winners under 18 years old, $500 is awarded each. For 18-24 year olds, the first place short story will gain $2500 and poetry $1000.
All first place winners will be printed in the December issue of Voiceworks. Second and third place winners, and those with honourable mention will be published on the Express Media website.
Entry is now free for all applicants under 18; for 18 -24 year olds, the $10 entry fee includes free Express Media Membership plus an exclusive monthly newsletter on events, grants and competitions. So, you don't need many pennies, just some ideas!
Entries close 5pm Friday 28th August, 2009. For more information including the entry form, please visit www.expressmedia.org.au.
