David Unaipon Award for an Emerging Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Writer Judges’ comments While each manuscript showed commendable writing effort and storytelling skill, the judges did not feel that any manuscript amongst this year’s entries were yet of publication standard. The judges came to the decision to not compile a shortlist or select a winner. Eligible entrants will receive author development activities through State Library including mentorship, editorial advice, and guidance on opportunities, pathways and artistic development, in consultation with the Award partners, Copyright Agency Cultural Fund and University of Queensland Press.
