NTLA Writing Bees
Our NT Literary Awards Writing Bees are designed to give busy writers the time, space, and snacks to polish their submissions.
The annual Northern Territory Literary Awards have celebrated the unpublished work of Northern Territory writers for 40 years. It is part of a special program of annual events at Library & Archives NT that celebrate the achievements of established and emerging writers, storytellers and prominent Territorians.
Whether established or emerging, all writers from across the Northern Territory are encouraged to enter unpublished work for a chance to win cash prizes, free memberships and performance passes.
