The Long Way Home writing competition – the verdict is in. We had a fabulous bunch of poignant, hopeful and quirky stories to read.
Maggie McDade wins the open section for her story ‘Neighbour.’ Grafton High School’s Nadia Smith wins the high school section. Aidan Menzies (also Grafton High) is highly commended. Jacquiline Diaz, who is home schooled, is highly commended. The winner of the primary school section is Evie Rae from Gulmarrad Public School. Highly commended for their stories are Oscar Woods from Grafton Public, Alyssa Dixon from Tucabia Public, and Locklen Baker from Harwood Public.
Congratulations to all! The stories, along with shortlisted stories, will be published in December in The Long Way Home’s new collection: Stories from the Clarence Valley 2022 – Let Go.
