Gwen Harwood Poetry Prize

The Gwen Harwood Poetry Prize (also known as the Gwen Harwood Memorial Poetry Prize) was created in 1996 in memory of the Tasmanian poet, Gwen Harwood. The prize is run by Island Magazine[1] and is awarded to a single poem or a linked suite of poems not longer than 80 lines. It has a first prize of A$2,000, and the judges may award two minor prizes.[2]
