The Creative Arts Competition

As part of a collaboration between the New Zealand Medical Students’ Association (NZMSA) and the NZMSJ that started in 2017, we publish 2 creative writing pieces and 1 photo/artwork produced by medical students annually on the NZMSJ blog and on the NZMSA website. The main purpose is to showcase the talent that we have hidden amongst our medical classes and encourage more students to come forward and exhibit their work.
​These creative pieces can include poems, short stories, photography and artwork.

​Please email [email protected] to submit an entry.

Guidelines
  1. Medical students can submit an entry any time of the year. Entries will be considered on an annual basis and all entries over the previous 12 months will be considered.
  2. Two reviewers are asked to review all the anonymised written pieces and give them a score from the rubric. The reason why we ask the same reviewers to mark all entries is for consistency in scoring.
  3. The scores are averaged and the top two written pieces and top photo/artwork are selected for publication on the NZMSJ blog.
  4. The rubric sheets from both reviewers are sent to the authors, and the authors may choose to edit their pieces before publication.
  5. The Creative Arts Competition winners are formally awarded with a certificate
  6. If the submission is not a winning submission, it can be given to NZMSA to publish on their website only (i.e. not published on the NZMSJ blog).
