Landfall is currently soliciting entries for the
Landfall Essay Competition!
The purpose of the competition is to encourage New Zealand writers
to think aloud about New Zealand culture, and to revive and sustain the
tradition of vivid, contentious and creative essay writing in this country – as
embodied in the non-fiction of early Landfall contributors such as Bill
Pearson, in the essays of past winners of this competition, and in the essays
the journal continues to publish.
The closing date for
receipt of entries is 5 pm 31 July 2012. The winning entry/ies will be
published in the November 2012 issue of Landfall.
The winner will also
receive $3000 and a year’s subscription to Landfall.
