Theme for 2015 Closes 6 JulyA story set in New Zealand around the time of the First World War.
Events can be real or imagined, but the story should capture what it was like for people in New Zealand while others were serving overseas as soldiers, nurses, ambulance staff, or volunteers.
The story could be about what happened in schools or your local area at the time. It could be about a conscientious objector, attending a peace rally, farewelling troops, or creating a war memorial.
Or it could be about anything else that happened in New Zealand because of the war.
Entries will be judged on the quality of the writing. The judges will look for the following:
• an effective, original response to the theme
• the ability to engage the reader
• a sense of time, place, and character
• clarity and coherence
• a fair with language (in particular, the effective use of figurative language).
