ALS Gold Medal

The ALS Gold Medal is awarded annually for an outstanding literary work in the preceding calendar year. The Medal was inaugurated by the Australian Literature Society, which was founded in Melbourne in 1899 and incorporated into the Association for the Study of Australian Literature in 1982.

The winner receives a gold medal. No nominations are required, though ASAL members are invited to propose potential winners to the judging panel.

Chair of the 2008 Gold Medal panel is Damien Barlow.
