New South Wales Premier's Literary Awards

New South Wales Premier's Literary Awards

The New South Wales Premier's Literary Awards were established in 1979 by the New South Wales Premier Neville Wran. Commenting on its purpose, Wran said: "We want the arts to take, and be seen to take, their proper place in our social priorities. If governments treat writers and artists with respect and understanding, the community will be more likely to do the same."[1] Notable prizes include the Christina Stead Prize for fiction, the Kenneth Slessor Prize for poetry, and the Douglas Stewart Prize for non-fiction.

Note: no awards were presented in 1998.
