Competitions
Wattle Tree Press invites all wordsmiths, storytellers, and dreamers to enter our inaugural anthology competition.
Submissions for the ‘Dreamin’ Writing Competition are now OPEN!
The 2024 WTP anthology theme is:
🌟 DREAMING🌟
The idea of DREAMING is important and lasting.
Whether in a cultural, psychological, subconscious, or aspirational sense, dreaming invokes a cultural past, our hopes for the future, and even potentially our nightmares.
But dreaming is more than a nighttime activity—it’s a powerful force woven into our humanity. Through ancient mythology, scientific inquiry, or personal reflection, the concept of dreaming remains a captivating and essential aspect of the human experience.
From ancient Aboriginal Dreamtime stories to modern aspirations, the idea of ‘dreaming’ encompasses the mystical allure of the Dreamtime, the enigmatic landscapes of nightly reveries, and the boundless potential of waking aspirations.
Dreaming transcends time, shaping our narratives and connecting us to the essence of who we are, what we want, and how we wish the world might be.
This competition encourages you to tap into the spirit of dreams, weaving narratives that capture the essence of dreaming – from the mystical to the mundane.
