Good writing about history can be engaging, insightful, poignant or intriguing, but the underlying research will always be authentic and rigorous. The biennial Van Diemen History Prize fosters quality writing about Tasmanian history for articles aimed at a general audience.

Ten outstanding writers will be selected from applications and nominations, each receiving $15,000 to develop their work. The recipients will be matched with a mentor, and work closely with them on bringing their writing to life, connecting them with other writers, publishers, booksellers and readers – and guiding and training them through that experience.

The Barbara Jefferis Award is for a novel (book-length work of fiction) first published and distributed in the period 1 January 2018–31 December 2019.

Submissions due for the 16th annual The Big Issue Fiction Edition.
