Update on Poetry Prize: Attention Under 18s
We’ve had a flood of entries to the 2022 BR4R Seeking Asylum Poetry Prize from young people. It is so encouraging to hear of young people reflecting on the plight of asylum seekers and being willing to support them.
In response to this wonderful development, Ballina Region for Refugees has decided to issue a certificate of participation to every entrant who is under 18, and one prize of $50. For details of the competition and entry forms, go to https://br4r.org.au/poetry-comp/.
Entries open until August 14th.
