The SD Harvey will from this year be hosted by the NRMA Kennedy Awards. It continues to be open to writers of fiction and non-fiction, including journalists.
The rules are the same as past years: a ripping yarn of between between 3,000 and 5,000 words. And there have been plenty of these in the nine years the award has been run. This year, there's a cash prize, as well as a sail to Whitehaven for two on a traditional classic schooner. Further details are available here.
