Mayor's Writing Competition

Entries into this year's Mayors Writing Competiton are now closed. Thank you to everyone who entered this year's competition.

The hard task of judging now begins!

Eurobodalla Libraries take great pride in organising and managing the esteemed annual Mayor’s Writing Competition. This initiative is designed to inspire and motivate the young minds of Eurobodalla to express themselves through the power of writing.

Year after year, we receive a flood of entries. From this vast pool of submissions, our judges have the challenging task of selecting the prize-winning entries. Prizes are awarded to the most imaginative and unique narratives.

This initiative is a testament to Eurobodalla Libraries’ commitment to promoting literacy and fostering the literary talents of our future generation of writers.

2024 theme: Footprint

This year's theme, 'Footprint', was selected by Mayor Mathew Hatcher.
