'Established in 2001, the Johnno Award is named for Queensland Writers' Centre founding patron David Malouf’s eponymous novel. Johnno is considered a seminal Queensland novel. The award is given for outstanding services to writers and writing in Queensland, particularly work that goes largely unrecognised by the public or the industry.'
