Pascall Prize (Geraldine Pascall Foundation)

Inaugurated in 1988, the Pascall Prize is Australia's only major national prize awarded for critical writing and review. The Prize is awarded by a panel of judges that includes industry peers and previous recipients. For the last few years the Pascall Prize has been awarded at an event held at the Sydney Writers' Festival in Walsh Bay (Sydney), featuring friendly debates with prominent writers, journalists, and broadcasters.

The 2014 Pascall Prize Australian 'Critic of the Year' was awarded to James Ley, Melbourne-based writer, critic, and editor of the 'Sydney Review of Books'. 

The Pascall Prize is a highlight of Australia's literary calendar.
