The Elsie Locke Writing Prize 2023

Posted: Thursday Apr 06, 2023

Toitoi: A Journal for Young Writers and Artists' Elsie Locke Writing Prize 2023 opens at the beginning of Term 2.

The Elsie Locke Writing Prize is offered by the Elsie Locke Memorial Trust. It provides a wonderful opportunity for young writers ages 5-13 to develop an original piece of writing for publication inspired by New Zealand history and Elsie's work for peace, the environment, women’s issues, and our community. 

Submissions can be any writing on a topic - past, present or future - that you think would have been of interest to Elsie.
