SECOND COMPETITION Our second literary competition is now announced. Manuscripts are invited from Maori groups and individuals to compete for the second Te Ao Hou Competition. Two prizes of ten guineas each will be awarded for the best stories received at this office by September 1. One of the prizes will be for a story in English, the other for a story in Maori. The judges will be: Mr W. Parker, Mr E. Nepia and Miss M. Petricevich. Stories must have a length of from 1500 to 2000 words. They may have any subject based on life in a Maori community in country, town, or city at the present day or in the recent past. Persons and places may be either true or fictional. It is hoped that entries will reveal new Maori literary talent and that the younger generation will be well represented. In addition to the two winning entries, the most suitable stories submitted will be published in Te Ao Hou and paid for at normal rates. It is hoped that the stories will help to increase awareness of what Maori life today really is; an awareness that will undoubtedly be of the greatest help for the future. Send manuscripts to: The Editor, Te Ao Hou, P.O. Box 2390, Wellington.
