Happy for the winners ❤ I handed a book in for this competition and by the sounds of it I need to work harder for my writing
I love enthusiasm you've shown for these stories. Congratulations to the top 3. Hi, Hei! I volunteer with Vision Australia radio and record stories for Cover to Cover, so I'm going to record these three stories to share with everybody!
Delighted to be awarded 2nd prize in the 2022 Albury City Short Story Award. Congratulations to my fellow prize winners Hei Gou (winner) and Gael Marion (3rd).
