Run in conjuction with Sampson Low Publishers, with a prize sponsored by Orana Arts in regional New South Wales, the walk · listen · create writing competition attracted scores of entries. We asked Amelia Hodsdon and Shani Cadwallender, our current writers-in-residence to choose a theme for this year’s competition as well as being part of the judging team. The competition required writers to compose poems or prose of 250 words and under, inspired by the theme of “Walking Together”.

Entries were judged by volunteer judges, Lydia Kennaway and R.M. Francis (poetry) and Geoff Nicholson and Nick Sayers (prose) assisted by Shani (poetry) and Amelia (stories). The shortlisted pieces are published in WALKING (2024) an illustrated chapbook anthology and issued as a geo-located audio anthology, sale proceeds of which go to support future walk · listen · create writing competitions.

The winners and runners-up in each of the poetry and prose categories will be announced at the event – with the accolade of on-line Poet & Prose Writer-in-Residence for 2025 walk · listen · create and for Sound Walk September going to the winners in each category.

Wandering without intent, meandering, walking with pleasurable aimlessness (English regional, esp. Lincolnshire; supposedly derived from the Norse word for “worm”). See also “stravaiging” (Scots), “daundering”, “pootling”, etc.
