Australian literary award
ThePatrick White Award is an annual literary prize established byPatrick White . White used his 1973Nobel Prize in Literature award to establish a trust for this prize.
The $25,000 cash award is given to a writer who has been highly creative over a long period but has not necessarily received adequate recognition. White stipulated that the award be announced the Friday after theMelbourne Cup to turn attention from sport to literature.[ 1] The2010 award was reduced to $18,000 because of the economic slump,[ 2] and in 2012 it was $23,000.[ 3] In 2020 the winner received $15,000.[ 4] Writers are automatically eligible without the necessity for submissions.
