- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 20 Jun, 2026 at 02:00 pm – Sat, 27 Jun, 2026 at 02:00 pm
- **Event Description**: As part of the Out on the Shelves Campaign Month each year in June, InsideOUT Kōaro runs a Rainbow Storytelling Competition for young people. It aims to celebrate budding rainbow, takatāpui and MVPFAFF+ storytellers and encourage them to share their work.

These workshops, run by experienced writers and librarians, will support young writers working on a piece to enter this competition. Each workshop is being held in a different library and has a different focus, though the exercises and advice will be helpful and applicable to all kinds of writing. We recommend attending all three workshops to polish your piece for the Rainbow Storytelling Competition, though attendance at all three is not mandatory.

Workshop 1 - Creative non-fiction: Saturday 13 June, 2-3.45pm at Newtown Library
Workshop 2 - Poetry: Saturday 20 June, 2-3.45pm at Johnsonville Library
Workshop 3 - Fiction: Saturday 27 June, 2-4pm at Te Matapihi Central Library

For young writers aged 14-18.

The application deadline has been extended until Wednesday 3 June. Click the ticketing link for registration information.
