VICTORIAN PREMIER'S LITERARY
AWARD
Young Adult
section
The Victorian Premier's Literary Awards were established in 1985 to commemorate the births of Vance and Nettie Palmer. They award Australian writers of outstanding books in a variety of categories. From 1988 to 1995, the children's literature prize was the Alan Marshall Award, sponsored by Diabetes Australia. In 1996, a new sponsor and focus redirected this towards young adult writing (readership between 13 and 20) and it became The Sheaffer Pen Prize for Young Adult Fiction, the Cross Pen Prize from 1999 to 2000, the Herald-Sun Prize for Young Adult Fiction in 2001, and the Kraft Foods Prize for Young Adult Fiction in 2002. It is currently unsponsored.
