The Calibre Essay Prize is an annual Australian Book Review essay-writing award. The prize, first awarded in 2007, is worth AU$7,500 and is deemed 'the nation's premier essay-writing competition'[1] and 'Australia’s leading award for an original essay'.[2]

The prize is 'intended to generate brilliant new essays and to foster new insights into culture, society, and the human condition'[3] and welcomes entries from published authors and commentators, as well as from emerging writers. All non-fiction subjects are eligible for submission.

History

The Prize was established in 2007. It is presented annually by the ABR and 'awards the most outstanding original essay contributed by a leading Australian author or commentator'.[4] The Prize was previously co-funded by the Australian Copyright Agency. It is currently supported by Colin Golvan QC.
