You might ask why is Furphy involved in literary awards? Well, that stems back to our beginnings.
Fostering creativity, conversation and story-telling is inherent in our values and history.
The Furphy Literary Awards honour Australian author, Joseph Furphy, whose major work – Such is Life – is recognised as an Australian classic. Published in 1903, “Such is Life”, like his other works, captured the Australian character and custom, life and scenery in a unique way that was rich and detailed.
His work remains a thoughtful and colourful insight into an earlier Australia and the Furphy Literary Awards add to his legacy and to Australian writing.
Today, we’re proud sponsors and supporters of the Furphy Literary Award which aims to encourage and celebrate the next generation of writers who can pen a good yarn. The annual event invites entries of previously unpublished short stories up to 5000 words, as well as a junior and youth category for short stories and poetry, with generous prizes on offer.
