New category added to WA Prem’s awards
The Western Australian Premier’s Book Awards has added a new category for the 2023 awards.
The Premier’s Prize for Book of the Year Award, worth $15,000, will be sponsored by Writing WA and is open to books by Western Australian residents published or self-published in the previous calendar year.
The new category, which is open to entries in ‘any style or genre’, including fiction, nonfiction, poetry, history or young adult, ‘broadens the scope of the awards allowing more Western Australian writers to be honoured and celebrated’, said the State Library of Western Australia, announcing the new award.
Entries for all categories open on Thursday, 8 December 2022. For more information about the awards, visit the website here.
