Chris Cole Catley Writing Awards
The Michael King
Young Writers Programme invites entries for the 2015 Chris Cole Catley Writing
Awards.
These awards are open
to all senior secondary students (Years 11-13) across the Auckland region, with
prizes for poetry and prose.
The entry form and
conditions are available on the Michael King Writers’ Centre website (www.writerscentre.org.nz) or via
email from assistant@writerscentre.org.nz
Entries close on Wednesday October 14.
Winners will receive
$150 cash prize, plus a selection of books.
The awards are named
in memory of Dame Chris Cole Catley, a pioneering journalist, author and
publisher, who mentored many writers and journalists during her long career. Chris
was a life-long friend of Michael King, and a founding trustee of the Michael King
Writers’ Centre. She established the centre’s first workshops for young
writers. The Young Writers Programme,
now in its fourth year, is offered thanks to funding from Creative New Zealand
and the Joyce Fisher Charitable Trust.
