NZ Young Festival 2024

Posted: Wednesday Aug 14, 2024

Meet the writers

Each year NZYWF appoint a Guest Curator – a young writer under 35, who will curate the festival programme based on their creative vision. This includes creating their own festival events, and selecting the full festival programme. 

They also appoint a Robert Lord Writers Cottage Young Writer in Residence. This Young Writer will spend four weeks at the cottage on a writing project, as well as taking part in the festival and creating events for the programme. 

The Content Presenters are the creative hearts and minds behind the festival.  Through an application process, they have their pitched events – workshops, panel discussions, performances and more – which make up the festival programme. All our Content Presenters are aged 15-35.
