Overview
Grab your pencils, you big nerds! The National Gallery of Victoria, in partnership with writing school The Good Copy, is hosting a free three-day crossword festival as part of the fourth annual Melbourne Art Book Fair. Running from March 16-18, the event will feature workshops, contests and even a spelling bee (where the winner gets…a dictionary).
Word geeks can participate in a live crossword solve before stepping "behind the grid" into the world of clue-writing with the The Age's own Liam "LR" Runnalls. The lexicological luminary will also be manning the clue booth, where he, along with Chris Black and Siobhan Linde from The Big Issue, will turn your name into a cryptic crossword clue. There'll even be a crossword tournament, complete with live commentary, that will culminate in a final showdown on Sunday.
