Apparently started at least 2008?

Hi Oronsay. I have just created a short article for Yvette Holt, and discovered that she won this prize in 2008, according to Austlit. Then I went digging further and found that Tara June Winch won it in 2006, then signed in to get to the AustLit link for the actual prize (having run out of free views) and found that Vivienne Cleven appears to have been the inaugural winner, in 2004. The link to the prize on AustLit is https://www.austlit.edu.au/austlit/page/v1284 - if you run out of free views, you should be able to gain access via your local state library? (If you can't, let me know and I'll return to this another day.) p.s. They have called it the Prize for Indigenous Writing, a subcategory of the Victorian Premier's Literary Awards.

Thanks, Laterthanyouthink. I should have thought of Austlit when I saw your addition of Heiss for 2012. I have access via SLNSW and will update further, a little later this morning.--Oronsay (talk) 18:50, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
