With a legacy deeply rooted in promoting literacy and a love for reading, Dymocks takes pride in being at the forefront of literary advocacy in Australia. The Beyond Words Competition is a testament to our unwavering commitment to cultivate a culture where young writers are celebrated, nurtured, and given a voice.

We invite the young storytellers of Australia, from bustling cities to the serene countryside, to share their tales of wonder, adventure, and discovery. Our competition is designed to be a nurturing ground for these emerging talents, offering not just substantial prizes but a chance to be acknowledged on a national stage. Stories are the fabric of our identity, shaping our understanding of the world and ourselves. By encouraging young writers to share their stories, we’re investing in a future where empathy, creativity, and critical thinking flourish. The Dymocks Beyond Words Competition is more than a contest; it’s a commitment to the growth and development of Australia’s future storytellers.

Join us in this extraordinary journey of discovery and celebration.
