The theme for the Cabonne Women Writers 2025 Open Writing Competition was Coming Home, which called on regional wordsmiths to reflect, imagine, and share what Coming Home means to them.
The competition was open to writers aged 16+ living in rural or remote Australia and all submissions had to be under 500 words.
The competition was coordinated with the support of Central West Libraries. Thanks to Collins Booksellers Orange for donating the Lucky Writers’ Prize which was won by Marian Warden.
