| Publisher Description: Don't want a future government that sanitises the history books to excuse the re-enactment of their atrocities? Stand up against governmental censorship and funding cuts for the arts and humanities in our education system today. Don't want urbanisation and rampant commercialism to continue its trend in value above that of human lives? Start rejecting the normalisation of below-living wages and boycotting sweatshop-made products. Don't want a future where human starvation is staved off only by crops cocooned in fragile greenhouse ecosystems? Fight against your governments, your manufacturers, the corporations you support, where they invest in environmental destruction. Drown out their cries of "but profit must prevail" with "you can't eat profit."The writers of these stories are the generation to which we will be handing over the future of the world and of new literature. This competition is proof that there are young people, many of them, with the passion and the fire to take the baton and run with it. Luckily for us, that's exactly what we need. - Guest Judge, Naomi MooreTimegate to Tomorrow contributors are Year 9-13 students of Aparima College, Cashmere High School, Darfield High School, Epsom Girls' Grammar School, Garin College, Green Bay High School, Homeschool, Horowhenua College, Howick College, John Paul College, Katikati College, Lincoln High School, Macleans College, Marlborough Girls' College, Morrinsville College, Mount Albert Grammar School, Mount Roskill Grammar School, Murchison Area School, Nelson College, Paraparaumu College, Queen's High School, Taradale High School, Wellington East Girls' College, Wellington High School, Whakatane High School. |
