Just a reminder – the Open Your Mind Poetry Competition is on again this year, accepting entries until Sept 9th. I’ve been invited to be one of the speakers at the ceremony announcing the winners later this year. 🙂 For more details about that, see my new Upcoming Events page.
The competition is run by the Mental Health Coalition of SA, who are also the awesome and very busy people running the Big Circle Arts Collective, arranging the Mental Health Week art exhibitions and the TheMHS exhibition, and setting up Mind Share – which will be an online blogging community, showcasing creative projects with mental health information and resources. You can still submit art, poems, and short stories to them, or offer to become a regular blogger. As you can see, I love all their projects and jump in with nearly everything they run!
The other folks behind the Open Your Mind poetry competition are the SA Writers Centre who host the event. I went for a visit the other day and met up with the absolutely lovely Jude Aquilina to ask for publishing advice about my various presentations and projects. I am working on converting some of these into a printed form and trying to decide between various publishing opportunities. Jude was very encouraging! If you are also inclined in the literary area, I highly recommend introducing yourself to this wonderful resource. They have a regular newsletter full of information, competitions, opportunities and advice.
