Rainbow Writing Competition | Whakataetae Tuhituhi

There are two age categories – Under 16, and 16 – 24 – and we accept poetry and flash fiction (any story under 1,000 words or less). Winning and shortlisted entries are published right here on our website and celebrated in our annual Rainbow Zine.

The writing competition will be back for 2022. In the meantime please check out our previous entries below.

Thank you so much to all the writers who submitted their work, and congratulations to the 2021 winners!
