About
We are delighted to host the award night for the 2026 Patrick White Award.
The Patrick White Award was established by Nobel Prize-winning author Patrick White to advance Australian literature ‘by encouraging the writing of novels, short stories, poetry and plays for publication or performance’. The prize is awarded annually to an author who has made an ongoing contribution to Australian literature but may not have received adequate recognition.
Free, but bookings are essential.
