WRITE TIME TO ENTER THE LITERARY AWARDS

Premier Anna Bligh is urging all aspiring writers to get their entries in for this year's Queensland Premier's Literary Awards before they close on Friday 23 May.

The awards program, which offers $225,000 in prize money across 14 categories, is marking the 10th anniversary of supporting and enhancing the arts throughout Australia.

"The awards recognise and reward great talent, whether you are a budding writer or an established author, and have been held in high regard across the country for the past 10 years," Ms Bligh said.

"All writers should make their mark and submit their entries before they close on Friday".

After The Lambing Flat won the Queensland Premier's Literary Award in 2002, Nerida Newton was named as one of the Sydney Morning Herald's Best Young Australian Authors. Her second novel, Death of a Whaler, was published in 2006. She is presently working on a third novel, which is set in France, and has recently returned to Queensland after living and researching in Paris.

"The voice of the culture of a nation, and of a state, is best heard through its artists. The Queensland Premier's Literary Award encourages new voices to speak up; to shout, as it were, from our corrugated iron rooftops, from our sun-baked suburban backyards, from our damp tropics and from our dusty western corners," Nerida said.

"Winning it allowed me the best possible reward: the opportunity to write, and to keep writing. In the elusive publishing industry, this kind of entrance is invaluable".

Nominations are being sought in the following award categories:

  • Fiction Book Award $25,000
  • Emerging Queensland Author - Manuscript Award $20,000
  • Unpublished Indigenous Writer - The David Unaipon Award $15,000
