The Josephine Ulrick Poetry Prize is an award given to Australian poets for a single poem.
[1] The initial prize was awarded at the Somerset Celebration of Literature literary dinner in Surfers Paradise, Queensland, Australia in March 1998.
The prize was created by Win Schubert, Director of Art Galleries Schubert at the Gold Coast, in celebration of the dynamic life of her gallery manager and close friend, Josephine Ulrick.
[2][3] It then became a part of the Creative Writing program at Griffith University, Gold Coast, in Queensland.
[4] Starting in 2013, the Arts, Education and Law Group at Griffith University funded the award fully, and the name was changed to the Griffith University Josephine Ulrick Poetry Prize.
