What Matters? Writing Competition
Cumberland Council 15 Feb 2023

The Whitlam Institute’s annual What Matters? Writing Competition is back for 2023!

For nearly 20 years, the Whitlam Institute’s What Matters? Writing Competition has been empowering students to raise their voices and feel that their perspectives are valuable, no matter their age, background or point of view. Part writing exercise, part civics and citizenship activity, What Matters? is the perfect platform for students to express what they care about and why.

Visit the Whitlam website to learn more about the competition, get inspired by past entries, explore classroom resources, and view amazing prizes on offer.

Entries can be fiction, non - fiction, poetry or prose of 600 words or less, and can be submitted quickly online.

Submissions close on Friday, 5 May 2023
