The Australian and New Zealand Panellists in the (PSI) Press Service International young writer program for their respective charges in allocating points for each young writer came up with this unbelievable scenario:
Equal points for the 2015 Tronson – Consistency awards
Australia
Charley Goiris (Melbourne)
Jeremy Dover (Melbourne)
Rebecca Moore (Sunshine Coast)
New Zealand
Tim Newman (Christchurch)
Brad Mills (Auckland)
This Tronson – Consistency award is the equivalent of second place behind the 2015 Basil Sellers Award Australian winner Belinda Croft (Melbourne) and NZ Basil Sellers winners Sophia Sinclair (Christchurch) and Jeremy Suisted (Cambridge NZ).
All five - Charley, Jeremy, Rebecca (Aust), Tim and Brad (NZ) received a $500 cheque, a medallion and a small art work by Tronson du Coudray.
Presented last week at the Press Service International young writers conference - the points were awarded by the Australian Panellists and the New Zealand Panellists and that they were so tight illustrated the following -
