People
At Swell, we believe in the power of great storytelling to connect, inspire, and celebrate our local community. Our annual Story Search is on again, inviting you to nominate Newcastle or Hunter region businesses or individuals whose stories deserve to be shared on our beautiful pages. The selected story will be featured in our Summer issue, accompanied by a professional photoshoot.
