Launching 2015 mindshare Awards

Access2Arts have partnered with the mindshare online mental health community website to present the mindshare awards (formerly the Open Your Mind poetry competition).

The awards were launched at an event held in the gallery of The Mill Adelaide creative space at an afternoon tea-style event.

Melbourne poet, Sandy Jeffs, was the special guest of the event and she took pleasure in opening the 2015 awards.

Closing Friday 7 August, entries are open to South Australians who have a lived experience of mental illness.  Categories for short (under 25 lines) and long form (between 26 and 50 lines) are open to:

• Unpublished Emerging Poets – poets who are in their first 5 years of writing and have had no poems published.
• Published Emerging Poets – poets who are in their first 5 years of writing and have had poems published.
• Published Established Poets – Poets who have been writing for more than 5 years and had poems published.

Award winners will be announced at the Festival of Now on Friday 9 October 2015.
