The awards, which will be held annually, have been introduced by the Prime Minister to celebrate the important role literature plays in Australian life.

A tax free prize of $100 000 will be awarded to the work judged to be of the highest literary merit in each of two categories, fiction and non-fiction. The short list will be announced in coming weeks, with the announcement of the two winners to follow.

A set of the Prime Minister’s Literary Awards short-listed and winning books will be presented to selected public libraries throughout Australia and promotional material can be requested online on the awards website.
