By OAR FM Dunedin | Posted:

In 2019, the University of Otago held a creative writing competition as part of the University’s 150th celebrations.

With four categories – student poetry, student fiction, staff poetry and staff fiction – it was an opportunity for keen writers across all of the University’s campuses to have a go.

In keeping with the 150th anniversary celebrations, the writing prompt was “Daring to be Wise”.
