Entries are open for a writing competition which will see the stories of 100 NSW seniors published in a book themed, ‘What’s age got to do with it?’.
Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh encourages locals to submit their creative works to the Seniors Stories Volume Seven Writing Competition.
“We want to hear stories that remind us age is just a number, and I know seniors in our region have exceptional tales to tell,” Mr Singh said.
“This is a great opportunity for people to recount life-changing moments, share funny tales they’ve gathered on their journey through life, or use their imagination to spin a great yarn.”
Minister for Seniors Geoff Lee said the NSW Seniors Card competition has been running since 2013 and is effective in uniting generations.
“Sharing stories builds connections between young and old in our communities. It’s a way to recognise the valuable experiences of NSW seniors,” Mr Lee said.
“The NSW community is full of inspirational older people, who have stories worth sharing that can motivate, entertain and educate us all.”
NSW Seniors Card and NSW Senior Savers Card members can apply until 31 May. For details, visit: www.seniorscard.nsw.gov.au
