  • The Stringybark Short Story Award is an annual open themed award presented to the writer whose story entertains the judges the most. Entrants have a maximum of 1500 words in which to achieve this feat. International entries are most welcome. The story must have a connection, no matter how incidental, to Australia and be written for an adult audience.
