For the second year, the National Union of Workers and Overland Literary Journal are running a prize worth $20,000.

The Fair Australia prize is a competition that encourages artists to write and draw about the issues NUW members and supporters care about: secure work, tackling inequality and building a fairer Australia.

Entries are now open in the following categories with the prize in each worth $4000:

• Non-Fiction
• Fiction
• Poetry
• Graphic/Cartoon

The competition closing date has been extended until the 31^st August. 

This year’s theme is ‘Our Common Future’ and there are four areas of ‘fairness’ the competition asks people to think about in relation to this theme:

• Fair society
• Fair planet
• Fair jobs
• Fair food
