Johnno Award 2024 – Nominations

Established in 2001 and presented annually, the Johnno Award is named after Queensland Writers Centre founding patron David Malouf’s debut novel, Johnno – today considered a seminal Queensland novel.

This award is presented by Queensland Writers Centre's Management Committee for outstanding services to writers and writing in Queensland, particularly volunteer work and work that goes largely unrecognised by the public or the industry. This includes not only writers but also teachers, arts workers, advocates and community leaders who work to promote a vibrant and diverse writing community across Queensland.

Nominations close Tuesday 22 October.
The Johnno Award is presented at Queensland Writers Centre's member Christmas Party.
