YOUNG WRITERS

Seven panellists (Australia and New Zealand) for the Basil Sellers Young Writers Award which consists of a $1000 for top points from the Australian young writers and $1000 for top points from the New Zealand young writers - presented at the mini-conference 5 September in Melbourne.

The Panellists sometimes add comments to a particular article and over these past months I've mentioned some of these comments. Wellington NZ Panellist Christina Tyson sent in this comment for (pic) Gemma Taylor (July article): "A bold and provocative article on self-image that also critiques society. A terrific read." Delma and I also enjoyed this article but for different reasons.
