Do you want to have your own work published in one of Australia’s biggest national newspapers?
The Greek Herald is launching a competition commemorating the 80 year anniversary of OXI Day on October 28, 2020.
OXI Day marks the day back on October 28, 1940, when former military general and Prime Minister of Greece, Ioannis Metaxas, rejected an ultimatum given by the Italian dictator, Benito Mussolini, during World War II.
The competition will require people to submit any piece of writing or artwork about the event, with the winning piece to be selected by the team at The Greek Herald.
