Scribblers on the Road is FORM’s travelling storytelling and creativity program. In 2025, Scribblers will travel to the Goldfields and Pilbara regions bringing some of Australia’s most loved and celebrated authors and storytellers to schools and communities.

We’ll be hosting a free Family Fun Day in both regions, featuring performances, presentations, activations and workshops with our Scribblers Creative Stars together with local performers, authors, artists and storytellers.
We have several opportunities for emerging and established creatives and storytellers in each region to be part of the line-up at the following events:
- Kalgoorlie Family Fun Day on Saturday 5 April 2025 at Goldfields Arts Centre.
- South Hedland Family Fun Day on Saturday 7 June 2025 at JD Hardie Community Centre.

What are we looking for?
Local Creatives

Calling all artists, writers, storytellers, performers and entertainers local to Kalgoorlie or Hedland! Whether you’re interested in running workshops, performing, running demonstrations or community activities, we want to hear from you. Successful applicants will receive a fee for service and be featured on our program, website and socials!


Youth Performers (12-25)

Young people with a talent and passion for performing are invited to apply for a ‘paid gig’! We welcome solo and group acts from any performing arts discipline – musicians, dancers, singers, comedians, oral storytellers and everything in between! Each act selected will receive $100 for a 30-minute slot (either as a gift card or contracted performance fee, depending on performers’ age).

This opportunity is open only to those aged 12-25.


Youth Makers (12-25)

Young artists and artisans, budding entrepreneurs and creative crafters are invited to be part of our Youth Markers’s Market at our Kalgoorlie Family Fun Day. Successful applicants will be provided a stall space, table and chairs at no cost where they can showcase and sell their art and handicrafts. Stallholders will need to be available for the full duration of the day (approximately 10.00 am – 3.00 pm TBC).

This opportunity is open only to those aged 12-25 and applies only to the Goldfields Family Fun Day on Saturday 5 April. (Young people in the Pilbara interested in similar events are welcome to contact The Junction Co for more information about their youth markets.)


Food Stalls/Trucks & Community Stalls

Food vendors and community organisations interested in being part of the Family Fun Days are invited to apply for a space. A limited number of stallholders/vendors can be accommodated and those selected will be provided a space within the Festival area at no cost.


Volunteers

Volunteering at Scribblers Family Day is a great opportunity to gain work experience, meet new people and connect with your community! You’ll help provide a unique experience to our audiences by making the event fun, enriching and accessible to all. There are many ways volunteers can be involved from customer service, helping run activities, setting/packing up equipment – and all sorts of other things.
