I've been wanting to share this for a while now, but it is finally confirmed and official.

I am working with Libraries Tasmania to run a short story competition for kids aged 17 and under. Similar to the contest I did with the schools, I approached the library to see if they would like to do something similar and they said yes. It's only being promoted on the west/north-west of Tasmania but it's open to anyone in Tasmania. I hope to expand it statewide next year, especially if it gets a lot of interest.

I'm so excited to see this idea come to fruition. Creative writing is so awesome and I can't wait to see what stories the kids will come up with.

Unfortunately, doesn't really apply to the forum since this is a melbourne sub, but I had to share.
