Healthy Poem Competition

The Literature Centre has partnered with Healthway to give young writers the chance to win some amazing vouchers to purchase a stack of books from our online bookshop!

To enter we’re asking young people to write a poem on the theme of healthy eating. Any type of poem is accepted but must be no more than 20 lines. Judges will be looking for the most creative entries linked to the theme of healthy eating. The competition is open to Australian primary and secondary students.

Three winners will receive a $100 voucher each to spend at The Literature Centre’s online bookshop.

The competition closes on October 24, 2023
