Dorothy Shaw Young Writers Competition 2009

Deaf Australia is pleased to announce that Dorothy Shaw Young Writers Competition (DSYWC) for young Deaf and hearing impaired people in memory of Dorothy Evelyn Shaw, who inspired so many and contributed to so much to the Deaf Community, will be run again this year.

Since it’s inception in 1992, the response to the Australia-wide story writing competition has been wonderful with many people submitting entries. All entrants are issued with a certificate of recognition, and winners receive cash prizes. Prizes are also awarded to the school that each winner attends. Every year, all efforts are made to arrange publicity of the winners in local newspapers and school magazines.

The theme for this year is "Book Safari" We hope that the competition will be enthusiastically supported once again.

Entries close at 5.00pm on Friday 14th August 2009. Winners will be announced during the National Week of Deaf People, 10th - 6th October 2009.
