Campbelltown Writers' Competition
The 2023 Campbelltown Writer's competition ran between Saturday 1 July 2023 and Saturday 30 September 2023. Writers from across South Australia were invited to submit their original stories inspired by the theme of "Seasons". This year we had 3 categories open for entry, Junior Writer, Youth Writer and Open Writer, with prizes up for grabs across all categories!
This competition was facilitated by The City of Campbelltown and Writer's SA.
We look forward to our 2024 Competition with more information about entries and timing to be released early 2024.
