The Prize for Young Adult Fiction

The Prize for Young Adult Fiction

The Prize for Young Adult Fiction is a component of the annual Victorian Premier's Literary Award. Most Australian state premiers present annual Australian literary awards to promote Australian writing in all its forms. See Australian Literature for more information about Australian authors and their works.

"This prize is offered for a published work of fiction or collection of short stories written for a readership between the ages of 13 and 18. Publishers may consider submitting books that are appropriate to young adult readers but not published under a young adult imprint.

"Literary merit is the major judging criterion. In the case of illustrated books, the additional criterion of literary and artistic unity is considered." [http://www.slv.vic.gov.au/programs/literary/pla/yaprize/index.html State Library of Victoria] ]
