The 2025 Jolley Prize

This year’s ABR Elizabeth Jolley Short Story Prize attracted 1275 entries. There was a strong representation from Australia though Jolley continues to grow in international stature, with entries coming from thirty-five countries. The Jolley Prize is one of the world’s most lucrative prizes for an unpublished story in English.

Our three judges – Julie Janson (NSW), John Kinsella (WA), and Maria Takolander (Vic.) – longlisted eleven stories, as listed on our website. ABR congratulates the longlisted authors and thanks them for helping to create a field which the judges have described as one of the strongest they have encountered in any prize.
