Greek Australian Cultural League releases results of its Literary Competition and Book Awards

·

On Sunday, November 17, at the Panarcadian Association of Melbourne and Victoria “O Kolokotronis”, the Greek-Australian Cultural League (GACL) announced the results of its Literary Competition and the Book Awards 2024.

The event also included books sales of the participating writers in the Book Award, making them known to the broader community and hopefully attracting some sales.

Everyone who attended the well organised function made the most of the collegiality and the social interaction which the event offered.

The GACL’s President, Cathy Alexopoulos, congratulated the winners and encouraged the participants to continue writing and submit their works to these important competitions.

Ms Alexopoulos thanked the members of the judging panels for their meticulous and thorough appraisal of the submitted works, the generous sponsors whose monetary contribution was greatly appreciated by the recipients, the media coverage, the members of the Administrative Committee of the GACL and especially the audience for their consistent support.
