Pitches for our $5,000 writing prize close in 10 days

If you’d like feedback before committing to writing a full submission, now is the time to send us your idea.

We recently announced the Inaugural Inflection Points Writing Prize, a $5,000 cash prize, which will be awarded to the best new piece of Australian writing about the big problems our nation faces, and the solutions that may be within our grasp.

We understand that committing to a long-form writing project with no guarantee you’re on the right track can be daunting. To help solve this problem, the Inflection Points team will be offering feedback to writers who want to pitch a piece in advance of entering the Prize.

Pitches are open until March 27th at 11:59pm - ten more days.

A pitch should be a short summary of the article explaining what the problem/solution you are interrogating is, and why it is important to Australia.

Writers should go beyond merely identifying a problem, and work to interrogate solutions. We are interested in writing that engages with how the barriers to progress can be overcome, or have been overcome in the past.

Please find more information and submit your pitch on our website.
