They came up on the HL site so I've sent them to Greg --
2017 PERFORMANCE POETRY AWARDS
On Saturday the 10th June, 10 poets “strutted their stuff” on the stage of the Gulgong Prince of
Wales Opera House, entertaining the large crowd present with a variety of poems. The meal on the
night was provided by the Gulgong High School Hospitality Group.
The results were:—
1st — Ralph Scrivens, (Corrimal, NSW) “RAIN FROM NOWHERE” 1st Prize $1,000— sponsored
by Moolarben Coal , with the Henry Statue sponsored by the Gulgong Post Shop
2nd — Ken Tough, Pretty Breach, NSW; “MICK CASEY” 2nd Prize — $500 sponsored by MidWestern
Regional Council
3rd — Celia Kershaw, (Port Macquarie, NSW); “THE MULLET MAN” 3rd Prize — $200 sponsor ed
by Henry Lawson Caravan Park
Highly Commended;—
Jenny Markwell, (Wangi Wangi, NSW); “REMEMBER”
Des Kelly, (Gulgong, NSW); “REEDY RIVER”
Rhonda Tallnash, (Violet Town, Vic); “THE WRAPPER”
Commended:—
Ken Potter, (Wollongong, NSW); “THE KERRIGAN BOYS”
Amy Bradfield, (Warwick, Qld); “DO YOU THINK THAT I DO NOT KNOW”
Ted Webber, (Young, NSW); “THE GHOSTS OF DUNEDOO”
Catherine Stewart, (Lismore, NSW); “FOR'ARD”
AUDIENCE VOTE
This year, as all 10 finalists had all won first prize in a performance poetry event at least once,
there were no emerging poets and so an Audience Vote was held instead. The results of this were,
with the same person coming first in both sections:—
1st — Ralph Scrivens, (Corrimal, NSW); “RAIN FROM NOWHERE” 1st Prize of $150 was
sponsored by F & J Markwell, and the Loaded Dog statue sponsored by Pearsonsʼ Jewellers.
2nd — Celia Kershaw, (Port Macquarie, NSW); “THE MULLET MAN” 2nd prize $50 sponsored by
Gulgong Telegraph Station.
3rd — Ken Potter, (Wollongong, NSW); “THE KERRIGAN BOYS”
