Do you know someone who loves writing? The is one medium that will challenge young authors in Northern Territory to put their brilliant ideas in writing. Since 1991, City of Darwin Libraries has presented the Young Territory Author Collection and Young Territory Author Awards.



The aim of Young Territory Author Collection is to provide a pathway for young writers to be able to share their writing with the wider community. This program offers a $500 prize for the best entry of author/illustrator. These awards are open for all Territorians aged 18 years old and under. These awards are recognised in association with Municipal Councils, schools and public libraries of the Northern Territory.



To enter this competition, please pick up an entry form from any public library or school throughout the Northern Territory or download the form from www.darwin.nt.gov.au/libraries. Entries for this year close on 30 June 2017. Winners will be announced in August 2017 at a ceremony hosted by the Lord Mayor. All entrants, families and teachers are welcome to attend this special ceremony event. The winners will be published in the Weekend NT News after the awards ceremony.



Please notice the conditions of entry before you submit your work: all entries will be in a book format, so your entry must contain a front and back cover, a title page stating the name of the book, the name of the author(s) and acknowledgment of an illustrator or other person who has contributed to your book. Page numbers have to be printed on each page. Don't forget to acknowledge where quotes and/or pictures are used if it's from another source.
