QUEENSLAND PREMIER'S LITERARY AWARD
children's and young adult literature sections

In 1999 the Queensland Government inaugurated the annual Queensland Premier's Literary Awards. They are designed to give professional and aspiring authors the opportunity to gain recognition in the literary industry as well as providing financial assistance to help in the production of high quality writing. The awards program offers the largest pool of prize money for literary awards in Australia.
In 2002, a new category for Young Adult writing was added.
