E.j. Brady Short Story Competition
Back in the early 1900s, when author Edwin James Brady arrived in Captain Stevenson’s Point, he decided to create a colony of writers and artists.
Charmed by the beauty of Mallacoota, he invited some of the top literary figures of his time to join. This is how Henry Lawson, the acclaimed Australian poet, frequented Edwin’s settlement and wrote one of his most famous poems, Mallaccota Bar.
Every year the annual E.J. Brady short story competition, run by the Mallacoota Arts Council, honours the contribution of these artists to Mallacoota.
