History

This award was originally run as a joint venture between Scribe Publications and Express Media (as the Scribe Non-Fiction Prize for Young Writers): open to writers aged 30 or under who are working on a longform work in any nonfiction genre, including memoir, journalism, essay, biography, and creative nonfiction, for works between 5,000 and 10,000 words.

In 2019, the award was re-named the Deakin University NonFiction Prize, to mark the new collaboration between Deakin University and Express Media. For winners prior to 2019, see Scribe Nonfiction Prize for Young Writers.
