Enter below for the opportunity to have your writing selected for In Your Words. The selected pieces of writing will be published in visible spots in the city centre where people can enjoy them. To start with, we’re planning to select at least nine pieces of writing for display in the Queen Street area.
In Your Words pieces will be selected for publication by Heart and the City and a panel of city centre word aficionados.
If you are selected as one of the winners of the competition, the prize is $500.
The brief
Art, performance, culture and creative expression make our city centre’s heart beat faster. We want to bring words from our creative community into our streets to celebrate the heart of our city and bring a smile to people going about their day.
A haiku, a lyric, a pun, a metaphor, a well-turned phrase: use whatever form speaks to you and whatever language you speak to say something thoughtful, beautiful, personal or funny about Auckland’s city centre.
Some say you need 1000 words to paint a picture, here you’ll have 20 at the absolute most.
Submission criteria
Up to 20 words that relate to the city centre (area shown above), in your language of choice.
