MARION is delighted to announce the Shortlisted Works for the 2023 ACT Notable Book Awards

FICTION - NONFICTION - POETRY - CHILDREN’S

The purpose of the ACT Notable Book Awards is to highlight the excellence and talent of the ACT region and surrounds.

The winners from each category will have produced an exceptional published work.

Notable is defined as “worthy of attention or notice; remarkable”, and we ask judges keep this definition in mind when judging the entries of ACT Notable Book Award. This definition is the basis for ACT Notable rewards.

Across all categories we ask judges to consider which entries stand out in their brilliance and demonstrate the following:

• Literary excellence

• Powerful narrative structure

• Considered and impactful use of language

All ACT Notable Book Award winners will be announced at the Awards Event on Thursday 29 June at Canberra Contemporary Art Space.

Tickets to the event will be available very soon.
