Introducing the Nakata Brophy Short Fiction and Poetry Prize for Young Indigenous Writers


Sponsored by Trinity College at the University of Melbourne and supporters, this prize recognises the wonderful talent of so many young Indigenous writers across the nation, and offers an opportunity for the best of our writers to be encouraged, published and acclaimed.

The annual prize is $5000 and is open to Indigenous writers under 30 years of age. Read the prize guidelines and enter the competition.

The 2014 competition is now open and the closing date is 31 January 2014.
