This is a very special year for the Joseph Furphy Commemorative Literary Prize. The year marks the 100th anniversary of the death of Joseph Furphy, who died on 13 September 1912.
The Literary Prize is being conducted at a much earlier time this year, and entries will close on 27 July 2012. This is so that the presentation of the prizes to the winners can take place in September 2012.Enquires to Jan Sutton, Shepparton Library on 1300 374 765
