Victoria University of Wellington’s Critical Diagnosis Network, led by Prof Annemarie Jutel is sponsoring a fun creative writing contest. The Critical Diagnosis Network is dedicated to exploring social, cultural, creative and critical perspectives of diagnosis with a view to enhancing understanding of health and illness.

They invite you to submit your previously-unpublished 55 word stories on diagnosis. Entries will be judged by prestigious NZ poet Harry Ricketts and writer Damien Wilkins.  For more information, visit their facebook page.
