WESTERN AUSTRALIAN PREMIER'S AWARD
The Western Australian Premier's Book Awards are presented to writers who were born, live or base their work in the state of Western Australia. The Children's Writing section was originally a single award first given in 1990. Since 1998 it has had two parts of relevance to children's literature: the Children's Book award for a work of prose and/or poetry written for children, and the Young Adults award for a work of prose and/or poetry written for Young Adults. An Overall winner can also be awarded from all the books in the 6 adult and children's categories.
