Garlett Group is proud to deliver in partnership with The West Australian and Navitas, the inaugural First Nations Storytelling Prize as a part of the national Best Australian Yarn competition.
Garlett Group managed the strategic communications, public relations, community engagement, story shortlisting, and judging process for the First Nations category.
The winner of the inaugural First Nations Storytelling Prize was Sharleigh Crittenden, for her story River Fish.
Garlett Group Director, Emma Garlett was delighted to present Ms Crittenden with the prize at the awards ceremony at WA Museum Boola Bardip.
“The First Nations Storytelling Prize is an opportunity for Indigenous people to share their perspectives, culture and stories. It encourages Indigenous authors to write and we must continue to provide the next generation of Indigenous storytellers with a platform and opportunities” Garlett said.
