(Redirected from Patrick White Literary Award)
The Patrick White Award is an annual literary prize established by Patrick White. White used his 1973 Nobel 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 the Melbourne Cup to turn attention from sport to literature.[1] The 2010 award was reduced to $18,000 because of the economic slump,[2] in 2012 it was $23,000.[3] Writers are automatically eligible without the necessity for submissions.
