The Age Short Story Award

The Age Short Story Award is a competition that is run in conjunction with International PEN, the international writers' association. It was established in 1979. From 1979 to 1984 it was run in conjunction with Tabloid Story and was known as The Age-Tabloid Story Awards. The inaugural award was won by Harris Smart.

Entries must be unpublished, and under 3000 words. Three prizes are awarded and the winning stories are published in The Age and online.

Note: There is often confusion in reporting the awards as the award is sometimes announced around December and sometimes around January. Consequently, some sources give the year as the year the competition closed, and some as the year the award was announced. This may account for any apparent discrepancies in the list given below. There is no official listing from The Age to clarify the situation.
