Boroondara Literary Awards
Entries to the 2009 Boroondara Literary Awards are now open, with entries closing 5pm, Friday 28 August 2009.
The Boroondara Literary Awards are a joint activity of the Rotary Club of Balwyn, Leader Newspapers and the City of Boroondara.
The awards consist of two main categories, Young Writers and Open Short Story.
Young Writers includes sections for poetry and prose for secondary students in Year levels 7-9 and 10-12.
Boroondara Schools are also invited to participate in the highly successful Writers in Schools program, where they are invited to nominate to play host to a popular writer for a seminar and workshop. This program is provided free in association with the competition.
The Open Short Story section is a national competition with a special prize up for grabs for Boroondara residents.
The awards are judged by successful industry professionals who are widely recognised for their work in the literary field.
All winning stories and poems are published in an anthology.
The 2008 anthology "Word you up" is now available for $8 - please see order form via link below.
