The 2024 Young Writers' Competition is open!

Celebrating 15 years of the Young Writers' Competition, the 2024 theme word is 'crystal'. We’re looking for the next sparkling young creative writers on the Northern Beaches.

Are you gazing into a crystal ball or standing under a sparkling crystal chandelier? Swimming through crystal blue waters or hunting for a magical crystal guarded by a monstrous beast? Is your story becoming crystal clear?

Write an original creative piece of work using this year's theme word 'crystal' for a chance to win prizes, meet our author judges and receive personalised feedback on your entry.

Open to students up to Year 12.
