The ABR Elizabeth Jolley Short Story Prize[1] is an annual short fiction competition run by the Australian Book Review. The Prize, with total prize money of AU$12,500 and "generating over a thousand new stories each year",[2] is "hotly contested"[3] and considered "one of Australia's most lucrative prizes for an original short story"[4] on the Australian literary calendar.[5]
History
The Prize was originally known as the ABR Short Story Competition[6] when it was established in 2010; however, the ABR renamed the award "in honour of Elizabeth Jolley, and first awarded it under its new name, the ABR Elizabeth Jolley Short Story Prize, in 2011".[6]
The Prize accepts submissions from authors worldwide, however stories must be by a single author and written in English.
