Jewish Storytellers Challenge

Jewish Storytellers Challenge – For Unpublished Short Stories and Poetry by 18-35 year olds

Have a story only you can tell? We’re launching our first-ever Jewish Storytellers Challenge and we’re looking for powerful, original voices aged 18–35-year-olds.

Send us your unpublished short fiction, nonfiction, or poetry that captures your Jewish experience in Sydney.

Two winners — one story, one poem — will each win $250 (and one runner up $100) and be selected by award-winning writer and artist Anna Jacobson, recipient of the 2024 Shalom Collective Jewish Independent Young Jewish Writers Award.

Submissions now open.

Award closes 6 August (11.59pm)

This is a collaboration between the NSW Jewish Board of Deputies and Shalom Collective.
