Calling all resident writers Have a story to tell, a poem to share, or thoughts to express? Based on tenant feedback, we're launching a new Resident Writing Competition to showcase the creative voices in our community. You can submit a short story, poem, reflection, review, essay and more. You can write something completely new or submit something you’ve already written. Whether you're an experienced writer or just starting out, we would love to hear from you. Need some inspiration? This year’s optional theme is: “Five Minutes in My Shoes” You might write about something you're passionate about, a daily routine, a memory, or a life experience that’s shaped who you are. Big or small - it’s a chance to share what life is like from your perspective. You can skip the theme and write and submit whatever inspires you. Winners will receive a prize, and selected entries will be published in our next resident newsletter. Want to enter? Contact Alex at Housing Choices WA: alex.kepes@hcau.org.au 0437 887 675 Competition closes Friday September 12
