| Two great competitions to enter!! |
Why the competitions? Well... Charles had this great idea on how to engage with the community and get people involved in helping their environment (which happens to be the theme for our World Environment Day Expo this year). "Have a competition!" he said. "Let's find out what people really think and feel about Darwin Harbour and ask them to write a song or a poem?"
|
And so... after talking with the organisers of both the Seabreeze and WordStorm Festivals, the idea became reality. A Songwriting and a Poetry/Spoken Word competition have been commissioned.
|
There are heaps of great prizes to be won (including cash). You get to show off your creative skills and you will be helping ECNT raise awareness about one of Darwin's threatened icons.
|
Check out the competition page here for all the details and entry forms. |
