Fresh Fiction Writing Competition

The MYWS Fresh Fiction Writing Competition is a cash prize award for stories written by Melbourne Young Writers’ Studio writers each year.

Aimed at encouraging young writers around Australia and beyond to get creative and showcase their talents, Fresh Fiction is a wonderful opportunity for young writers to have their work published and win huge cash prizes.

Categories are open to writers aged 7-12 years and 13-18 years for works of fiction between 500 and 1000 words. 

The winners are announced at the annual Melbourne Young Writers’ Studio Book Launch event in December. 

Entries for the Fresh Fiction Writing Competition will open in Term 4. Keep an eye out for emails from mywritersstudio for specific dates and guidelines.
