Win $1000 by writing about Auckland

Budding writers are invited to enter a $1000 writing competition as a lead up to the third Auckland Writers Festival in May.

We want to hear about your favourite corner of our city. Tell us a story about why you love Auckland. We want to hear about what makes your patch special. It might be the area you live in, a building you love, the people in it. It could be a tale from the past, a vision for the future or just something you see every day.

Most of all, we want to see the city – through your eyes.

To enter:

• You must be 18 years of age or over.
  
• You must attach an original entry form from The New Zealand Herald newspaper to your manuscript.
  
• Entry forms will be published Tuesdays and Fridays in The New Zealand Herald in April.
  
• Photocopies of entry forms will not be accepted, but if you live outside the Herald circulation area, you can view and print an entry form from the official competition webpage (see below).
  
• You do not have to be an Auckland City resident.
  

Your story must be:

• up to 1000 words,
  
• set in Auckland,
  
• received by 5pm Tuesday 1st May.
  

The winning entry will be published in the New Zealand Herald.
