A poetry series, Travel, by Master of Arts in Creative Writing student Fu Wei won a Third Class Award in the Poetry category of a prestigious national inter-collegiate literary competition. Running for the tenth year, the Weeds Literary Prize has a judging panel formed by renowned poets, writers and critics, and attracted participants from 828 tertiary institutions this year.
