Writers Voice September 2011 - Fellowship of Australian Writers NSW

Sydney Harbour Bridge’! Twice a
subject for the prestigious Archibald
Prize by renowned artists Wynne
Armstrong and Nafisa Naomi; and
most recently, May 2005, opened an
exhibition of works by internationally
acclaimed painter Eva Hannah,
featuring – to Maria’s surprise – a
vivacious, rubenesque depiction of
the Entertainer herself, named ‘Maria
and The Girls’.
After a lifetime in show business,
Maria finds herself as busy as ever;
her passion and vitality has never
waned, singing being her first love…
and her dynamic personality says –
‘LIVE FOR TODAY’!

Point 4 of the published ‘Normal
Competition Conditions’ [see page
26] was amended at the recent
August State Council meeting.
It now reads:
Entries may be entered in more
than one competition at the time
of entry HOWEVER the entry must
be withdrawn from any subsequent
competitions if the writer is advised
prior to the closing dates that the
entry was successful elsewhere with
a cash prize.
The Motion Moved by H Luidens,
Seconded Cate Plink, UNANIMOUSLY
ACCEPTED.
Not a part of the Motion, but
important relevant information to
the conditions should also be noted
as a guideline:
1. It was also advised that if
‘Normal Competition Conditions’
Receipt and tickets will be forwarded.
CHanGe To norMaL CoMPeTiTion ConDiTionS
as will be published in the Spring
Issue of Writers Voice and thereafter,
do not cover the conditions for
any specific competition, then the
Competition Secretary should set
specific conditions of entry for their
particular competition.
2. Cash Prize does not mean (gift
eg. trophy, vase etc). Therefore such
items are NOT deemed to be a cash
prize. Your committee appreciates
the feedback from ‘Branches’ (yes
our new constitution refers to
Regionals as Branches), who took
the time to respond to this item from
previous Minutes and trust now,
that competitions should run more
smoothly.
Colleen Parker,
Hon. Secretary FAW NSW
[As per Minutes from August 2011
Quarterly Meeting].
