Inaugurated in 2009 by the Australian Republican Movement and open to all Australian residents. The purpose of the award is to promote non-constitutional change towards an Australian republic. Short stories must portray an Australian republican future in a positive light and demonstrate the absurdity of a hereditary monarch as Australian Head of State in twenty-first century Australian society.
