Congratulations to all those who entered. Margaret was thrilled to receive an extra present from Santa this year, and her win has encouraged her to keep up with her writing. This competition was a difficult choice between a number of our top ten. It's good to see some new names making the list, and great to see Jonathan making the list for the fifth time. Don't forget that just by writing you will often come up with new ideas for new stories, so whether it's for your own pleasure or for a competition, taking the time to pen a short story can often lead to other things.
Start writing now for our next competition. We are now accepting entries.
Some of our authors have given their permission for their stories to be read on Vision Australia Radio. It is a great opportunity to have your story heard by over 100,000 listeners, and know that you are helping out a worthwhile charity. If you are interested, send us an email.
We hope you enjoy the winning entry, and look forward to reading more from all of you in the future.
