Extended date - now closing 21 June
Mattie Furphy was artistic and renowned for her work in copper, which you will see when you visit Mattie Furphy and Tom Collins houses in Swanbourne. Instead of hammering copper, we invite you to put your pen to paper, your hands to the keyboard, and create your short story for the competition

The Fellowship is proud to be a member of the Copyright Agency and has often benefited from its generous Cultural Fund. The Copyright Agency is an Australian not-for-profit organisation that has been standing up for creators for more than 40 years. They enable the reuse of copyright-protected words and images in return for fair payment to creators. FAWWA recommends that you ensure copyright over your own work as well as looking at what grants are available for writers. To check out the site click here.
FAWWA would like to acknowledge Lotterywest for the generous grant that supported the purchase of equipment and furniture for Mattie Furphy House.
