Prepare

Story or Poetry

Get your work typed up in electronic format and come up with a catchy title.

If you’ve got a picture to go with the entry, make sure it’s in jpg, png or gif format and try to keep the file size below 1mb.

And finally, don’t forget to spell check your work.

Art

You will need to get an electronic copy of your artwork. The easiest way is to take a picture of it with your phone, then email it to yourself so you have a copy on your computer to upload.

The file format needs to be in jpg, png or gif format and below 2mb. Make sure the filename doesn’t contain any strange characters and try to keep it short.

Write a short description about the work. This helps the judges understand the story behind the art or the methods used.

Upload

Story or Poetry

When you’re ready, login to your personal OzKids account and select ‘ADD WRITING ENTRY’ from the menu. Fill in your details (or the author, if doing this for someone else) and paste the entry into the field provided.

Don’t forget to tell us if it’s a Short Story or Poem too.

If you’ve got a picture to go with the entry, make sure it’s in jpg, png or gif format and try to keep the file size below 1mb.

Every entry is individually assessed before being approved, this can take a couple of days before it’s visible on the public website. Please be patient.

Art

Select ‘ADD ART ENTRY’ after you login to your OzKids account.

Fill in all the details such as Title, Category along with a short description about the art, then upload your file.

Your personal details will be pre-filled but if you are entering art for someone else such as your child or student, don’t forget to put their name in the fields provided.

In Memory of Rob Leonard, Our Founder

It is with great sadness that the Board of Directors, staff, and myself from the Children’s Charity Network must inform you of the passing of our founder, Mr Rob Leonard, following a 14-month battle with Cancer. We pass our condolences to Rob’s friends and family at this terrible time.

Rob was a wonderful, caring man with a passion for service and charity. His vision to influence young Australians through literacy 25 years ago has impacted thousands, who will all be saddened by this news. In honour of Rob, I look forward to growing his vision and continuing to advocate for the value of literacy and arts.

Please take a moment to reflect upon Rob’s impact on you, and remember his uncompromising belief in the power of Art and Writing.

Rob, you will be truly missed but never far away from our thoughts. 

May Rob’s memory be a blessing.

Jason Woods
Children’s Charity Network Board and Community
