The Australian/Vogel’s Award for Young Writers has a rich history, originating in 1980 when Niels Stevns, the visionary behind Vogel’s bread in Australia, collaborated with the Australian’s literary editor, Peter Ward, to create a cultural prize. Stevns, a Danish immigrant, sought to give back to his adopted country and chose literature, along with classical music, as his way of doing so.

This led to the establishment of the prestigious award, with Vogel’s providing a $10,000 prize for the best manuscript by an author under 30 years old. Over the years, the award evolved, with the age limit increasing to 35 and the prize money growing to its current amount of $20,000.
