Justified and Ancient

A retrospective celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Sydney Gay Mardi Gras.

Thirty years ago, hundreds of Sydney gays, lesbians and friends continued a festive street march in defiance of police instructions. Many were thumped, 53 were arrested for being part of the first Sydney Gay Mardi Gras. This retrospective is a sample of local gay male lit from that time. Features writing by William Yang, Dave Sargent, Barry Lowe, Ian MacNeill, Gary Dunne and more.

Feast 2008 poster

Feast Festival Writing Competition
South Australia's gay and lesbian arts festival
15-30 November 2008

Pick up a pen, get those fingers tapping on your keyboard and win great prizes, including getting your work published. This year the theme is ‘DiverseCITY’ and the writing must contain ‘significant queer content’. While there is a 3,000-word limit (or 80 lines of poetry), style is open, including prose, poetry, essay, fiction, non-fiction, creative non-fiction, life writing or anything in between, as long as it has that all-important significant queer content. Judging is by a panel made up of a writer, a publisher and a Feast representative.
Entries close October 31.
Download the Feast writing competition info here! (MS Word file)
Winners announced Nov 22 at Relish, a literary event during Feast, and will be published in a free downloadable collection from this website soon after.
