The Berthe Mouchette Competition remains Victoria’s most established and respected poetry event for school students.
This year, students are invited to explore the theme Des ponts entre nous / Bridges Between Us:
between people and cultures, languages and ideas, and to discover how poetry can be a powerful bridge for expression and connection.
The Berthe Mouchette Competition is an opportunity for students to practice their
poetry skills by participating in a competition with great prizes to be won.
Every year for over a century, thousands of young Victorians have been bringing poetry to life. The Berthe Mouchette Competition is a unique and memorable experience for the candidates that reinforces the vitality of poetry in Australia.
