This year’s Dungala-Kaiela Writing Awards are open to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people with a connection to the Goulburn Valley region.
The awards, inaugurated in 2012, provide an opportunity for writing and self-expression in the local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
Entries to the awards will be accepted in a range of formats, including as a story, yarn, article, play, poem, rap or lyrics, and classed into age categories from junior (prep to grade six) through to elders (over 65).
There is also a category for Aboriginal languages of this region in any written form, where some Aboriginal language words must be used, however the whole entry does not have to be written in Aboriginal language.
Entry forms are available from all branches of Goulburn Valley Libraries, or may be downloaded from the website www.gvlibraries.com.au, or find Dungala-Kaiela Writing on Facebook.
Entries for the awards close on November 30.
