Creative Opportunity: Heywire Regional Stories Competition

Back

Heywire is an exciting competition from the ABC, calling for stories from high school aged students in regional, rural and remote Australia. And we want to hear from you!

Entries must be a true story about an aspect of your life. Stories can be in any format: text, video or audio — whatever form suits you best!

Most of our entries are text but feel free to be creative. The recommended length is 400 words.

If you need help deciding what to write about or how to start writing your story, you can take part in an online Heywire Storytelling workshop here

What Do I Win?

  • Your story on the ABC!
