The Willie Smith's Mid-Winter Festival Storytelling is back! This year is less of a competition and more of a celebration to commemorate the final Mid-Winter Festival!

Young Dawkins, who will compare the StoryTelling for both kids and the big kids, is a two-time winner of the Huon Valley Cup. His second collection of poetry, Slow Walk Home, was long-listed for the Tim Thorne Poetry prize in 2022.
