The Woorilla Poetry Prize is now an international competition. This year entrants came from every Australian state and territory as well as almost every continent in the world.

The quality of submissions was most astounding and judging was extremely difficult. The short list and winning entries will be announced at the event.

This year's event will be a hybrid. The physical event will be held in the stunning Hills Hub, with live music performances featuring FJ Steele, wine and refreshments, raffles and live readings. This will be streamed live if you are too far away to be there. Register to join the event either online or in person.

Registration requires a ticket. Ticket prices are a donation and vary depending on what you can contribute. Regardless of the ticket price you select, you'll get the same quality presentation, comments from the judges, videos provided by entrants, readings of the shortlisted poems and more.

The bonus with the higher priced tickets is that you'll also receive a warm, fuzzy feeling and the deep gratitude of the volunteer organising committee, as your contribution will help maintain this competition into the future.

Please give what you can.
