Toitoi - opportunities for young writers and illustrators!

Kia Ora Woodlands Park School,

We subscribe to Toitoi, a quarterly publication that publishes Kiwi tamariki's writing and art. I received an email from them today with heaps of exciting things with you.

Collaboration with the School Journal


"We are delighted to announce a collaboration with the School Journal! This is an amazing chance for Toitoi writers to have a piece of work published in the world’s longest-running serial publication for children, alongside established and celebrated writers from Aotearoa New Zealand.

We are now inviting submissions on the theme of ‘Tūpuna’, to be published in one of the three May 2022 School Journals:‍

- Level 2 (students in years 3-4)

- Level 3 (students in years 5-6)

- Level 4 (students in years 7-8)

Email your writing to schooljournalsubmit@toitoi.nz by October 29, 2021 and include your name, age, school and a parent or teacher's name and contact details. Please note your year level in the subject line of your email. We can't wait to hear from you."

Submission guidelines

WPS tamariki - I challenge you to give it a go! (A ‘Tūpuna’ is a grandparent or ancestor.)

Another Writing Opportunity

"The Michael King Writers Centre have announced an exciting new opportunity for young writers (aged 16-21) to showcase their talent with three writing awards that offer cash prizes and a writing mentorship with a Penguin Random House New Zealand author for the overall winner!
