ANNOUNCEMENT: Wakefield Weekly Writing Competition

We're excited to announce a new challenge for authors: the Wakefield Weekly Writing Competition! The WWWC will become a monthly competition, open to authors Australia-wide, with prizes including gift vouchers and the publication of winning entries right here on the Wakefield Press blog.

We’d like the competition to help writers and researchers build readerships, help spread Wakefield’s own name and news of our books, and, who knows, help seed a few books of the future. 

Entries are now open for the very first WWWC. Read on for the boring things, like the terms and conditions, and the fun things, like the prizes on offer!

Terms and conditions of entry:

• Entries may be any genre; fiction, opinion, history, etc., but they must adhere to the set theme.
• Entries may be no longer than 1,500 words in length, and may include relevant images.
• Authors may be based anywhere in Australia to enter.
• Entries from authors of all ability and experience level are welcomed.
• Authors acknowledge that their entry may be republished by Wakefield Press. The copyright of the piece remains with the author. By entering the competition, authors agree to allow Wakefield Press to publish their work on the blog and/ or in the Wakefield Weekly.
• The decision of the judges is final, and no correspondence will be entered into.

The current theme is 'the birds return'.
Make sure to include that phrase somewhere in your entry.
Send your piece to maddy@wakefieldpress.com.au
before 5 pm on Friday 4 March.
