ANDY GRIFFITHS CREATES NEW POWERHOUSE EXHIBITION WITH A CHALLENGE TO YOUNG WRITERS
Powerhouse is calling on the next generation of storytellers to unleash their creativity with the launch of a state-wide writing challenge alongside the museum’s newest exhibition, Powerhouse Materials: Paper, created by bestselling children’s author Andy Griffiths.
Opening today, this free-to-enter Young Writers’ Challenge asks NSW primary school students to create original tales—in the form of stories, comics, lists, maps or illustrated narratives—that are inspired by objects featured in the exhibition. Submissions will be celebrated at a special event in March 2026 at Powerhouse Castle Hill, when Andy will read aloud selected outstanding student stories in front of the invited submitting writers and their families.
