Calling all bush poets
08 Mar, 2012 12:15 PM
ENTRIES have now opened for Australia’s leading bush poetry competition the ‘Australian Unity Bryan Kelleher Literary Award’.

Now in its fifth year, the competition encourages budding poets of all ages to follow in the footsteps of Banjo Paterson and Henry Lawson and pen a bush poem.

Australian Unity chairman Alan Castleman said last year’s record number of submissions, from poets as young as seven, shows that bush poetry is alive and well in Australia.

“The response to last year’s competition was outstanding with 674 entries received from bush poets of all ages—an increase of more than 50 per cent on the previous year,” Mr Castleman said.

“Australian Unity hopes the competition will continue to grow and that more Australians will take the opportunity to create and contribute bush poetry that embodies the Australian spirit.

Mr Castleman said: “It is important that we provide a forum, such as the Australian Unity Bryan Kelleher Literary Award, to preserve the art of bush poetry in a modern time so it can be enjoyed by future generations.”

Entry is free and the competition closes on Friday, 29 June 2012. Winners will share in more than $2250 worth of prizes. Application forms are available online at http://www.australianunity.com.au/literaryaward or by calling 03 8682 6701.

Link fixed ... Still trying to nail the WMA problem without much success. There's an issue with the supplied player ...

You can still upload MP3s. To listen to MP3s, simply right-click and "Open link in new tab/new window" and your preferred player will play the piece ... MP3s are far more widely accepted and used for audio.
This also is the more stable option.
