SMH Young Writers Comp. (2 Viewers)

[ElendilPeredhil]

My teacher told myself and the other ext2 writer to enter, he did and I didn't. He's a regional finalist and I'm obscure.


So How many of you entered the SMH competition? Seems like something a few of us must have done so I'm just curious to see who's entered and how they went.

I didn't even know you had to 'enter'.... oh wait. This isn't the 'young writers showcase'...rightio...

 

[P_Dilemma]

I entered, but didn't make it to final, unfortuinately... Maybe it was too taboo... death and art and all...

Someone at my school DID make it to finals, tho... his was about taking camera shots... with allusion to death.

I guess the old folks can accept death allusions more readily than explicit death dexcriptions...

Wanna read my work?

"Art of Death" is the title

"Memories of an Antagonist" i entered last year... I got a sort-of "thanks for trying" sheet of paper...

-P_D

what is the SMH young writers comp? we never got told about any comp!

 

[dasphoebus]

Neither did our school. I'm suprised because we have some extremely talented writers who would have jumped at the opportunity to showcase their works.

 

[Ennaybur]

haha i got nothing .. but a high commend at the northern rivers writers c .. i guess it is nowhere near as impressive

 

[Dio-Rama]

that is so bloody unfair. i woud have loved to enter and see where i got. would you have entered?

 

[Ennaybur]

i did,.

 

[rahrah]

Haha... my teacher told me and my friend to enter it... we did, but I got nothing. Dunno about him.

 

[dasphoebus]

Considering I had done a first draft in term 2, I would have entered. Wouldn't have got anything though since that draft was shite.

Tried entering, but got disheartened about how slowly my story was progressing and stopped writing entirely. A shame too, because a friend of mine entered her story and it made the regional finalists.

 

[emmaj3an]

How do you enter? It's obviously toolate now, but is it running again this yr???

 

[princesskt]

[lilyflower16]

I entered, got a highly commended which I never saw because my teacher lost it.

Short story comps like this have been running since I was in Year 7. Odds are there'll be another one soon enough.
