2022 Dorothea Mackellar Poetry Awards entries open
Do you have a budding poet in the family?
Entries for the 2022 Dorothea Mackellar Poetry Awards competition for school-aged children are open until 30 June.
This year’s optional theme is ‘in my opinion’.
The Dorothea Mackellar Memorial Society is offering awards in a range of categories. These include:
- awards for students from small and regional schools
- students in Assisted Learning programs
- awards for schools with an overall high standard of entries.
Cash and book prizes will be presented at a national ceremony in September and the Society will produce a booklet of all the winning poems.
Further information on the competition, as well as poetry writing resources, is available via the Dorothea Mackellar Memorial Society Facebook page or webpage, or you can save or share the poster below.
