CITY Council in partnership with the Furphy Foundation, Latrobe University and the GV Library Group are excited to announce this year’s Furphy Literary Awards recipients.
Furphy Literary Award director Sam Furphy said the calibre of entries was again outstanding this year.
“We are so pleased to receive such a strong number of entries from across the Goulburn Valley and more encouraged than ever to provide this important platform for young writers and poets to share their creative skills and talents,” said Sam Furphy.
FLA Director Adam Furphy explained The Furphy Literary Award is working towards an annual publication of an anthology of selected works from entries submitted each year.
“Now that the judging has been completed and the results announced we are thrilled to be able to publish the finalist works on our website and share them with a wider audience,” said Adam Furphy.
“We are looking forward to bringing out an anthology of works which we intend will be an annual publication and which will celebrate Australian storytelling.”
