IT’S HINT TIME!

With just TWO WEEKS to go until prompt drop, we thought we’d drop you all a little clue!

After all, what better way to get those creative juices flowing than unravelling exactly what this image reveals (if anything) about your word, action and anti-prompts for the July round?

Accepting wrong guesses, wild guesses, and even correct guesses in the comments below 👇🏻

With thanks to our Artist-in-Residence, .synclair for another beautiful piece of art (based on what can only be described as a very *niche* brief 😅)

Oh how time flies. You might even say it goes by in a…
FLASH! 😏

It’s just ONE MONTH until the July prompt drop, and we want YOU to be part of the fun!

If the AU$4,000 cash prize pool, trophy and promise of print publication weren’t enough to lure you in, there’s also the thrill of the podcast longlist and shortlist reveals, where we unpack the round’s stats, deep dive into the judging process, and call out our faves.

Don’t leave yourself sitting on the outside this round, we want that hat of yours in the ring!

When Amanda was approximately 13 years old, she came into possession of a (real) glass eye. Why? Who can say. But after 29 years of carrying it with her through all of life’s ages and stages, she was FINALLY able to put the glass eye to use — bush-bashing into a “no trespassing” area of local bushland to take this very photo.

Please enjoy 🙏🏻

A huge congratulations once again to our April WINNER! We’ll be doing it all again soon, so if you’d like one of these babies with YOUR name on it, sign up now for the July round at notquitewriteprize.com!

How should we spend our blank cheque? Will anyone even cash it? And what IS this thing called “cash”, anyway?

All valid questions in response to a positively ✨delightful✨ little piece of feedback from one of our faves ❤️

Not Quite Write is a labour of love, and it’s this love in return that is our greatest reward!

A huge thank you to all of our entrants for bringing a little piece of yourselves to this competition. As a little reward for *you*, we’ll be dropping that longlist episode a little early. Like… tomorrow 😱
