The Metro Deadly Ponies Scholarship Rides Again!

Sep 22, 2022 What's On

After a successful debut last year, the Metro Deadly Ponies scholarship is back and once again we are looking for fresh, exciting writing from fresh, exciting people on a topic of importance to them. It could be anything, as long as it makes us want to keep reading it till the last word. So, we’re offering $2000 for a story of at least 2000 words, commissioned by Deadly Ponies, to be published in the Autumn 2022 issue with the full editorial support of the Metro editors.

To apply, send a 200 word pitch, with a short bio to contact@metromagazine.co.nz with Metro Deadly Ponies in the subject line by November 1st.

We’ll announce the winner in our Summer issue. We can’t wait to see what you come up with

Metro & Deadly Ponies will have access to the winner for promotion of their works via digital and in-store channels, including participation in a Metro Deadly Ponies reader event.
