Why are Aussies so good at the Writers of the Future Contest?
Australians win more WOTF awards per entry than any other country. For real. That's something I learned just today. And you know what? I'm not surprised. We've been taking home the gongs for over twenty years now, and I've lost track of how many winners we've had all up. There were three this year alone. Three.
So what's our secret? Any guesses? I'm at a loss, but I reckon it's a bloody good thing.

Indeed! If not the water, then perhaps it's our infinite blue skies...
I initially thought maybe it's because we're one of the most technologically-advanced countries, but 3 Googles later, that seems not to be the case:

HG Wells was inspired to write "War of the Worlds" because of Australia.
...Something in the water maybe.
Possibly Soylent Green.
Anyway, congrats to Oz. Nobody can say we're not a forward-thinking nation.
