The Victorian Premier's Literary Awards are a key element in the Victorian Government's commitment to promote and raise the profile of contemporary creative writing and Australia's publishing industry. The Victorian Premier’s Literary Awards were established in 1985 by John Cain, the Premier of Victoria at that time, to mark the centenary of the births of Vance and Nettie Palmer - distinguished writers and critics who made significant contributions to Victorian and Australian literary culture.
