Welcome to the fifth year of the Bellarine Writer’s Competition.
Five monthly winners will receive $200 each and will then compete against each other in a ‘grand final’ where the winner will receive $1000.
Mark Towse was last year’s winner for his entry, ‘An accidental meeting’.
Last year’s competition attracted 60 entries and has gone from strength to strength.
Organisers are inviting any previous entrant who will receive an email today giving details of the first topic.
Newcomers are also invited to take part in any, or all, of the five monthly topics.
The first topic is ‘Through the window’. Entrants are restricted to a maximum of 750 words and are to be submitted no later than Friday March 17 to barrysproull@gmail.com.
Competition entries must include a phone number. The winner will be notified by Sunday March 19.
After the five competitions are completed by early September the winners will compete for the $1000 grand prize and hopefully the compilation booklet of all the winning entries will be available for the presentation at The Covenant Winery on October 27.
