The 2025 Questions Writing Prize aims to recognise and reward young Australian writers (18 to 30 years).

The writing can be fiction or non-fiction on any topic as long as the piece remains between 1,500 and 2,000 words.

Prize

The prize for the best writing submitted is $3,000. (Where there is more than one winner the prize money will be shared).

The winner of the Questions Writing Prize will have their work published in a forthcoming issue of Questions.

Submissions

Please send all submissions electronically in a Word document by 1 May 2025 to: helen@futureleaders.com.au

But words are things, and a small drop of ink,
Falling, like dew, upon a thought, produces
That which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think.

Lord Byron
