Healthy Poem Competition

We've partnered with Healthway to give young writers the chance to win some amazing vouchers to purchase a stack of books from our online bookshop! To enter we're asking young people to write a poem on the theme of healthy eating. Any type of poem is accepted but must be no more than 20 lines. Judges will be looking for the most creative entries linked to the theme of healthy eating.

Three winners will receive a $100 voucher each to spend at The Literature Centre's online bookshop. The competition opens on September 13, 2023. The competition closes on October 24, 2023. It is open to Australian primary and secondary students. The winners are notified on November 16 and announced on November 20. Download the printable poem entry form below to hand out to students, or submit your entry to us online.
