The Text Prize for Young Adult & Children's Writing

Text Publishing have opened their "Prize for Young Adult & Children's Writing" for 2009 - actually the prize was open for submissions from May 4, but some of us are a bit slow of the mark. The prize is worth $10,000 and a contract to publish the work with Text Publishing.  Submissions close on July 31 with the winner to be announced during the Melbourne Writers' Festival, during the last week of August 2009.  Full details of submission criteria are available from the publisher [PDF file].
