ACU Prize for Poetry

Grant Description

The ACU Prize for Poetry, established in 2013 by the Office of the Vice President at Australian Catholic University, aims to support the emergence of new and dynamic Australian poets by awarding cash prizes—up to $10,000 for first place—to recognise excellence in literary arts and foster creative expression nationwide. The Prize draws inspiration from the Catholic Church’s historic patronage of the arts and seeks to provide both financial support and professional recognition for writers at an early stage in their careers. Through publication on the ACU website and inclusion in ACU publications, winners and commended entrants receive broader exposure, helping to launch their work into the national literary conversation.
