The 2013 Jolley Prize is worth $5000 (first prize), with supplementary prizes of $2000 and $1000. It will be judged by Tony Birch (academic and author of the 2012 novel Blood), Maria Takolander (poet, critic and a past winner) and Terri-ann White (Director of UWA Publishing). ABR will publish the three shortlisted stories later this year in its special Fiction issue, and announce the winner at an award ceremony in Sydney that same month. Anyone is eligible to enter, as long as they are an Australian citizen or permanent resident. Entries close 31 May 2013.
