Open to all attendees over the Festival weekend!
Write a flash fiction story inspired by the Road Safety Commission WA’s “You See, We See” campaign message.

The campaign highlights the consequences of illegal road behaviours — such as mobile phone use, not wearing seatbelts, drink driving, drug driving, and speeding — through police enforcement. It also shows the other side of the story: that enforcement exists to save lives.
