Voiceless Writing Prize
The Voiceless Writing Prize invites writers of fiction and nonfiction to reflect on the ethical relationship between humans and animals. There is over $20,000 in prizes to be won.
The Voiceless Writing Prize sponsored by Australian Ethical Investment invites writers of fiction and nonfiction to reflect on the ethical relationship between humans and animals. Submissions should be between 5,000 and 10,000 words and should focus on animals produced for food or found in the Australian landscape.
The Judging Panel is chaired by Nobel Laureate J. M. Coetzee, and includes Voiceless co-founder and managing director Ondine Sherman, Literary Editor of The Sydney Morning Herald Susan Wyndham, and Dr Wendy Were, former director of the Sydney Writers Festival.
The best pieces will be released as a collection by Publishing Partner Allen & Unwin, and The Sydney Morning Herald is supporting the Prize as Media Partner.
There is over $20,000 in prizes to be won, including $15,000 for the winner chosen by the Judging Panel (sponsored by Australian Ethical Investment), $5,000 for the People's Choice winner sponsored by Deborah and Peter Debnam and $500 for each writer chosen for publication.
