The Open section of the AlburyCity Short Story Competition has now closed; however, due to the timing of the school holidays, the primary section has been extended by one week to Friday 30 July.
Judges this year include regional writers Ian Trevaskis and Kate Rotherham for the open section and Susan Berran for the primary section.
Ian Trevaskis has twice received the Children’s Book Council of Australia ‘Notable Book Award’, Kate Rotherham won the 2008 AlburyCity Short Story competition and the 2009 Booranga Writers Fiction Prize, and Susan Berran recently signed a publishing deal with Melbourne’s Jo Jo Publishing for her series of children’s books.
First prize money for the primary section, sponsored by the Friends of the LibraryMuseum, is $100 with prizes for Highly Commended.
Last year's winner of the open section and winner of the prestigious Age Short Story competition, Louise D'Arcy said the competition was a fantastic opportunity for all writers, and with the open theme gave them the opportunity to polish stories they may already be working on.
