Tasmanian Premier's Literary Prizes

The Tasmanian Premier's Literary Prizes are awarded biennially in four categories. There are two panels of three judges: one for the book prizes, the other for the emerging writers and young writer's fellowship.

Awarded for the best book with Tasmanian content.

This prize, named in honour of well-known Tasmanian writer, Margaret Scott (1934–2005) is awarded for the best book by a Tasmanian author.

The first three awards were for best book by a Tasmanian publisher. Since 2013 the University of Tasmania Prize has been awarded for the best new unpublished literary work by an emerging Tasmanian writer.

Awarded to a young writer and sponsored by philanthropists. In its first year it was open to writers under 35, but for 2017 the age was lowered to under 30.
