JUST WRITE© Writing Competition

For the first time, there will be a writing competition as part of the Whitsundays Arts Festival program.

JUST WRITE© is a competition to get kids writing, presented in conjunction with Festival Partner, the Whitsunday News newspaper.

School-aged children will be encouraged to get creative and vie for a prize of a $250 Harvey Norman voucher towards a laptop, courtesy of the Whitsunday News.

The competition is open to high school students in two age groups – 11 to 14 years old and 15 to 18 years old – with the theme ‘Memories.’

A panel of experts will judge the entries, with more details to be announced soon.
