Spineless Wonders 2012 Prose poetry & microfiction competition

Theme: Australian icons

Length: maximum 800 words

Entry fee: $7.00

Deadline: November 30^th,  2012.

Judge, Carol Jenkins, is looking for small, clever pieces that take a sideways shove at the old, new and the yet-to-be-discovered Australian icons. ‘I’m looking for that leap of imagination and for de-cliche-isation. Those pieces that take a self-critical look at Australian life.’

Prize money for the winner ($300) and two runners up ($100).

Finalists and longlisted entrants will be invited to be included in the Spineless Wonders Australian icon anthology, edited by Julie Chevalier and Linda Godfrey.
