Seniors’ Stories Volume 12
NSW Seniors Card is delighted to unveil the theme for this year’s Seniors’ Stories Volume 12: Neighbours, Strangers, and the People In Between — an invitation to explore the rich tapestry of human connection through the eyes and experiences of seniors across the state.
The 2026 writing competition will run from 2 April to 14 May, and we’re calling on all NSW Seniors Card and Senior Savers Card members to share their stories. The top 100 entries will be published in this year’s anthology, with authors also offered the opportunity to have their stories printed in their native language — a celebration of the cultural diversity that shapes our communities.
