NSW Premier's Literary Awards - Play Award
Established by Premier Neville Wran in 1979, the Awards have a proud history, both in celebrating achievement of Australian writers and in helping to establish values and standards in Australian literature.
Assessment is made primarily on the literary merit of the written text, and not on the merits of a particular production, although the judges will take into account the success of the work within the medium for which it has been written.
