The Poort Writing Competition is a project of the South African Academy for Science and the Arts, which aims to encourage creative writing talent in Afrikaans among high school learners and to ultimately appreciate such creativity and expose it to a larger audience. This competition has been taking place since 1971 and goes from strength to strength every year! The competition creates a forum to identify learners who have writing potential and give them exposure through the Poort publication that appears annually with selected work in the genres of prose and poetry.
Schools Grade 10, 11 and 12 learners across the RSA and Namibia are invited to participate
