Community
From finding strength in your local community through sports, volunteering, shared experiences or more to building or joining an online community that shares your interests or hobbies, this theme speaks to the heart of Campbelltown, which is our community!
The annual Campbelltown Writer’s Competition is on again and writers from across South Australia are invited to submit their original stories inspired by the theme of Community. Entries can be fiction or non-fiction but must not exceed 2,500 words and must have a link to the Campbelltown area, a Campbelltown resident or references to the City of Campbelltown. All genres and styles welcome.
Entries open 9am, Monday 1 August 2025 and close 11pm Sunday 21 September 2025.

This year we have 3 categories open for entry, with prizes up for grabs across all categories!
This competition is facilitated by The City of Campbelltown and judged by Writers SA.
