Hellenic Writers’ Association of Australia announces Student Literary Competition winners

·

The Hellenic Writers’ Association of Australia (S.E.L.S.A.) has announced the winners of its 2025 Student Literary Competition, recognising outstanding creative writing by Greek language students across Melbourne.

The annual competition encourages young writers to explore their imagination and cultural identity through storytelling in Greek. This year’s entries reflected a vibrant mix of themes, from family and migration to traditions in the Antipodes.

Following careful evaluation by a panel of teachers, the winners were named as:

  • Primary School: “Antipodes” – Petra Drongiti, Grade 3, Coburg West Primary School
  • Middle School: “The Celebration” – Alexandra Barbagianni (13), Maria Voudouris (13) and Angeliki Konstas (12), Sts Anargiri Greek Language Centre
  • High School: “Customs and Traditions in the Antipodes” – Irini Katsoulis (17), Year 11, Sts Anargiri Greek Language Centre

Each winner will receive a $100 prize (shared equally in the case of group entries) and a commemorative certificate in recognition of their creative achievement.

The awards ceremony will take place during the official presentation of O LOGOS magazine on Sunday, 9 November 2025 at 3:00 pm, on the mezzanine floor of the Hellenic Community of Melbourne, 168 Lonsdale Street.

S.E.L.S.A. extended warm congratulations to all participating students and thanked the teachers who inspired and guided their creative efforts, continuing the proud tradition of Greek literary expression in Australia.
