The Stella Prize,
Australia’s new annual prize given to the best work of literature by an Australian
woman, will be awarded for the first time in April 2013.
Entries for the
$50,000 Prize are open through November 15 and will consider both fiction and
non-fiction submissions. "The Stella Prize will raise the profile and the
sales of books by women,’ said chair Aviva Tuffield in a release.
"We want
to encourage future generations of women writers, by increasing the recognition
for Australian women's writing and supporting strong female role models. We
also want to celebrate women’s contribution to Australian literature."
