Notes

  • 'The Society conducts an annual Poetry Competition and an annual Short Story Competition. In alternate years both competitions are either closed to “Members Only,” who get their information from the Society’s Newsletter, or they are open to all Australian citizens and permanent residents. In years when they are open they are called ‘National’ competitions, for which entry forms can be downloaded from this site. In even-numbered years competitions are for ‘Members Only’, thus ‘National’ competitions only take place in odd-numbered years, for instance 2005.'
