The EAC Climate Change Creative Writing finalists Stevie Greeks, Braidicea Warriner and Sophia Dempsey receive their awards from EAC president Olie Body
Last but not least in our series of posts of creative works from Waves: Climate Change Theatre Action Aotearoa (#climatechangetheatreaction), we bring you all in one place the links to the three finalists’ poems from the Expressive Arts Club Climate Change Creative Writing Competition.
The Expressive Arts Club is a large and vibrant student club at Massey Wellington campus open to students and alumni in our three Expressive Arts disciplines: creative writing, digital media production and theatre studies. (Plus we do find their friends from other majors tend to want to join the fun too, which is fine by us as the more the merrier.) EAC ran meet-ups and showcase events throughout 2015, culminating in the climate change creative writing competition in association with Waves. Many more events are planned for 2016 so if you want to join the best student club on Wellington campus, see http://www.mawsa.org.nz/clubs/clubs-mawsa-2015/massey-wellington-expressive-arts-club/ for details.
Thank you to Dr Ingrid Horrocks, creative writing senior lecturer, for expert judging of the entries in the EAC competition. Here are all three finalists – congratulations to them all, and happy reading!
