Brisbane Writers Challenge

Join in our 15-Day Writers Challenge and flex your writing muscles!


At Brisbane Writers Festival, we have a story for you…but do you have one for us?

As part of our partnership with goa billboards, we’re running a fifteen-day writing challenge to discover Brisbane’s next generation of wordsmiths. If you have a Hills Hoist haiku, a jacaranda jeremiad or some Proustian prose about Paddington, we’d love to read it.

Keep an eye out for the daily writing prompts on our billboards, website and Twitter; publish to your socials and tag us; or send directly via the BWF website. We’ll publish our favourite pieces in a commemorative zine (available at the Festival), hot off the press and ready to stick to mum’s fridge for Mother’s Day.

So ink your nibs, put on an unseasonal turtleneck and take to our glorious city streets – if you don’t get a sonnet out of it, you might get a date!
