The University of Otago’s annual creative writing competition for students and staff this year, for the first time, also welcomed entries from alumni.
Entrants were given the opportunity to harness their creativity and write a short story or a poem inspired by this year’s theme “Brave New World”.
The theme allowed for wide-ranging interpretations while acknowledging the many circumstances operating that break us from our past and oblige us to reconsider the world and our place in it.
The 'Writer' competition was established in 2019, as part of the University’s 150th celebrations.
This year’s judge is New Zealand writer and Otago staff member Craig Cliff.
