Each year as part of Poetry Month, we run the 30in30 Writing Competition. Writers from across the continent are encouraged to enter a 3-line poem or excerpt to win a book by a contemporary Australian poet every day of the month. Four poets were selected from over 2,400 entries to develop their poem further with editorial support from Red Room Poetry staff, and paid publication of their poem. In 2023, the winners of the competition were Katie Shammas, Brittany Riley, Julian Matthews and Jake Dennis.
