History

'The Geoff Dean Short Story Competition is a new biennial contest open to all Australian writers for outstanding short fiction between 3000-10,000 words.

'Geoff Dean was an eminent and accomplished Tasmanian short story writer who passed away in 2011 at the age of 80. He spent half a century writing short stories and he also played a key role in forming the Tasmanian Writers’ Centre. He also published numerous works and won a string of prizes for his gritty tales of humour and sadness. His short stories were described as some of the best in the country.'
