Johnno Award 2025 – Nominations

Presented annually since 2001 by Queensland Writers Centre's Management Committee, the Johnno Award celebrates outstanding services to writers and writing in Queensland—particularly volunteer work and work that goes largely unrecognised by the public or the industry. This includes not only writers but teachers, arts workers, advocates and community leaders who work to promote a vibrant and diverse writing community in Queensland.

The Johnno Award is named for Queensland Writers Centre founding patron David Malouf’s debut novel and seminal Queensland story, Johnno.

Nominations close: Tuesday 28 October.
The Award is presented at Queensland Writers Centre's member Christmas Party in December.
