Mark your calendars for a truly inclusive literary celebration as the Whitsunday Voices Youth Literature Festival returns from July 17th & 18th, 2025, proudly supported by the Winchester Scholarships. Since 2013, our partnership with the festival has been instrumental in fostering a love for literature within the wider Mackay-Isaac community. At the core of the Beryl Nielsen Winchester Scholarships lies the motto “Empowering Country Children Through Education.” This ethos drives our involvement with the 2025 Whitsunday Voices Youth Literature Festival, which has been a beacon of educational opportunities for rural children over the past decade. The foundation’s unwavering dedication to this mission has significantly impacted the lives of these young readers.
Join us as we embark on another year of enriching experiences and empowering stories at the 2025 Whitsunday Voices Youth Literature Festival.
