The Horne Prize was presented by The Saturday Paper and cosmetics company Aesop. The prize was awarded in late December for an essay of up to 3000 words, addressing some part of the theme ‘Australian life’. The award was named for the late Donald Horne AO, in honour of his exceptional contribution to Australian letters.
The Horne Prize was not offered in 2021, and has not been offered since.
