Black and white all over
Article Abstract:
Patrick White set up his literary award in the interest he received from his Nobel Prize money. It was meant to encourage writers who had contributed to Australian literature and to motivate them to continue. The unspoken rule was that White also liked the money to go to someone who needed it. Since he handpicked the committee members his philosophy has continued to be followed after his death also. A list of past winners is included.
