The Wheeler Centre for Books, Writing & Ideas is current seeking Expressions of Interest (EOIs) for Victorian Premier's Literary Awards Judges.

The Victorian Premier’s Literary Awards (VPLAs) were inaugurated by the Victorian Government in 1985 to honour literary achievement by Australian writers. The awards recognise excellence in Australian writing and its contributions to the development of Australian culture. They aim to advance the Victorian community’s appreciation of Australian literature and assist living authors in their careers and promote Victoria’s literary and publishing industries.

Entries are sought across eight categories, with the winners of each Prize receiving $25,000, and will go on to contest the major prize, the $100,000 Victorian Prize for Literature. This is the single most valuable literary award in the country.

If you would like to express your interest in being considered for the judging panel for future Victorian Premier's Literary Awards, please fill out the form at the link below.
