Calling All Writers.

After a year’s pandemic break, those wintry words are coming around again. Time to hit those keyboards as the Words in Winter writers’ festival, Daylesford, announces its short story competition, this year entitled ‘The Stranger’.

Stories must be original and unpublished, with a limit of 1000 words, but no limit to the imagination. The entry fee is $20, with the winner receiving $500.

Entries must be submitted by 6 September, 2021.

The winner will be announced at the festival wrap-up on Sunday, 22 August, with the winning entry to be published in the Daylesford Local newspaper.
