2004 WA Premier's Literary Awards

The winners of the WA Premier's Awards for 2004 (an award that slipped under the Matilda radar) have now been announced. The winners:

Fiction
Sixty Lights, Gail Jones [along with the Premier's Award]

Poetry
Against Certain Capture, Miriam Wei Wei Lo

Non-Fiction
Conversations with the Constitution, Greg Craven
Redbill: From Pearls to Peace - The Life and Times of a Remarkable Lugger, Kate Lance

Behind the Play, Anthony Maker

Children's Books
A Home for Bilby, Joanne Crawford & Grace Fielding

Young Adults' Award

Script Award

Full details of the shortlists are also available. It is interesting to note that Jones and Winton have now gone head-to-head in two Premier's awards with the current score being one-all. Jones is also nominated for the Miles Franklin Award, unlike Winton.
