ABC Mildura - Swan Hill annual Poetry Competition


It's time for the great ABC Mildura Swan Hill Poetry competition. You are invited to write your own original piece - long or short, rhyming or free flowing.
 Print  Email this  Share  Permalink We've got a double pass to the Mildura Writers' Festival Finale Slow Lunch on Sunday 17 July for the winner and ABC showbags for the two runners up.

The upcoming Mildura Writers Festival runs from 14 - 17 July and brings together some of Australia's best writers including Anna Goldsworthy, Shane Maloney and Stefano de Pieri in conversation, Morag Fraser, Professor Alan Frost, Trevor Hogan, Gail Jones, Paul Kane, Jamie King-Holden, Geoffrey Lehmann, John Martin, Peter Rose, Elliot Perlman & Simon West.

One of them, Shane Maloney, is known particularly for his writing that combines humour, crime and politics.


So in the name of our insatiable love of laughter, intrigue, democracy, free speech, and of course politicians... this year's ABC Mildura Swan Hill 2011 Poetry Competition asks that you write a 'political poem'.


The poem can be on any subject of politics: the school playground, local, state or federal government, traffic behaviour, the workplace, neighbourhoods. It just has to be based on the politics of it all.

You can give it whatever title you like and it can be as long as you like.
