2016 Toolangi C. J. Dennis Poetry Competition

Post by Stephen Whiteside » Sun May 01, 2016 5:15 pm

The 2016 Toolangi C. J. Dennis Poetry Competition is now open for entries.

Entry forms can be found on the C. J. Dennis Society website, here:
http://www.thecjdennissociety.com/news_events.php

There are a few small changes this year.

1. Entry fees can now be paid via online banking (direct deposit).

2. Entries are welcome from New Zealand.

3. There is now a $150 prize for the best poem written by adults for children AS JUDGED BY CHILDREN. (Previously there was no monetary prize for this award.)

The theme for the Themed Section this year is "The Moods of Ginger Mick". (This year the festival is celebrating the centenary of the publication in 1916 of "The Moods of Ginger Mick".)

As always, the closing date for entries is 7th September (C. J. Dennis' birthday).

The winners will be announced at an Awards Ceremony to be held at "The Singing Gardens" in Toolangi (former home of C. J. Dennis) at 1.30pm on Saturday, 22nd October.

Happy writing!
