Harri Jones Memorial Prize for Poetry

The Harri Jones Memorial Prize for Poetry is an annual prize awarded by the University of Newcastle to “an Australian poet, not yet 36 years of age, whose work in the field of poetry is judged to be outstanding”.[1] It's named for T. Harri Jones, a former lecturer at the university, who died in a tragic accident in 1965. As an acknowledgement of the impact Harry made on his students between 1959 and 1965, in 2011 this prize was incorporated into the already established Newberry Poetry Prize as a special category.[2]
