The 2019 Ada Cambridge Writing Prize shortlisted entrants
For the first time in the writing prize’s history submissions in the prose and poetry categories were open to all Victorian writers. As a result, we received an incredible amount of high-quality entries which provided the shortlisting readers and judges with a difficult task of choosing the top ten.
Join us at the Adas presentation on Saturday 15 June 12 noon in the Hub, where Carmel Bird will announce the winners. Entry is free.
We are pleased to announce this year’s short listed entries for the Ada Cambridge Writing Prizes.
