Outback Writers Festival Short Story Competition

Many thanks to all who entered. We had entries from South Australia, Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland. Thanks also to our judge from Victoria.

Some of the short stories were printed in the weekly Central Western Queensland newspaper, The Longreach Leader, and we have asked the judge to select the best for inclusion in our THE OUTBACK Volume 11, which will primarily be the 3000 word short stories.

The high number of entries from students meant that we are awarding a cash prize to the best of the Student entries.
