Entries are now open for this year’s annual Banjo Paterson Writing Awards.
The contest is sponsored by Orange City Library, the Central Western Daily and ABC Central West.
Established in 1991, these awards aim to honour Banjo Paterson, a great Australian writer and favourite son of Orange, with a competition to encourage short story or poetry writing with Australian content.
INSPIRED BY BANJO: Mayor Reg Kidd catches up on some of Banjo Paterson’s poetry ahead of the Banjo Paterson Writing Awards.
A major change this year is that entrants will be able to email their entries, as well as post, by the due date, Friday 23 April 2021.
