weirdest literary prize eva
Aug. 27th, 2008 02:33 pmI'm boxing up my archives for another drop to the excellent Fryer Library at the University of Queensland--unearthing still more godawful juvenilia in the process. But that's what not this post is about, thank goodness.*
I simply want to commemorate the coolest award I ever received, for the 2000 Inaugural Sydney Writers' Festival Haiku Competition. I've talked about this before, but apart from a brief appearance in the infamous "Haiku Man" video (screened at a certain Brisbane natcon) the embroidered Y-fronts I won** have never been seen outside my office. So here they are, as modelled by the seductive walnut tree in our backyard:
Aren't they purdy? I have no idea how the valuers are going to assess them, but I'm glad they're going to a happy place.
* Nor is it about the mounds of homemade D&D modules I'm also donating, plus every scrap of music I ever wrote. Yowza.
** The giant banner I also received, visible at the link above, is going too. That's my second-strangest/coolest publication. Literary festivals should do this kind of thing more often! (Somehow I can't see stuffy old Adelaide Writers' Week really getting into spirit.)
