AUSTRALIA’S ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATIONS
LITERARY COMPETITION PLANNED With a view to developing the literary talent of Australian authors, £SOO has been allocated as prize money for literary competitions connected with Australia’s one hundred and fiftieth anniversary celebrations next year. According to the Minister in charge of celebrations (the Hon. J. M. Dunningbam), the competition is one of the most comprehensive of us kind ever arranged in the Commonwealth, and he is confident that it will do much to foster literature in Australia. Prizes will be given for a short story, a full-length play, a short poem, a long essay, and a short essay. Entries will be received only from authors born or naturalised in Australia, New Zealand, or the British South Pacific Islands, or a bona-fide resident of any of these places for the three years preceding the closing date, December 31, 1937.
