This award is for an emerging Australian poet. Who is an emerging writer? In this case it could mean that you have done a fair amount of writing, studied writing, or are currently studying writing at a tertiary institution. You may have had some short pieces published or been listed for some awards; however, you have not yet had a full-length book published by a mainstream publisher.
