Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use Australian English The Blake Poetry Prize is an Australian poetry prize for a new work of 100 lines or less, focused on non-sectarian spiritual and religious topics, connected to the Blake Prize, an art prize. The prize, worth Шаблон:AUD, is presented biennially by the Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre (CPAC) in conjunction with the bookshop Westwords.

History

The prize was established in 2008 by the Blake Society in conjunction with the New South Wales Writers' Centre (now Writing NSW),[1] funded by Leichhardt Council in Sydney. The Blake Prize takes its name from visionary poet and artist William Blake.[2][3]

After the Blake Society had lost sponsorship for its art prizes in 2015, CPAC and Liverpool City Council announced that they would be funding and managing the prizes from 2016, with the exhibition and awards moving to Casula in Western Sydney.[4][5]

From 2017, it was intended that Liverpool City Library in conjunction with CPAC, would deliver the Blake Poetry Prize as a biennial event.[6] However, WestWords (Western Sydney's Literature Development Organisation) took over the partnership from the library.[7][8]

Description

A Шаблон:AUD prize is offered every two years for a new poem of 100 lines or less exploring a non-sectarian religious or spiritual theme.[7]
