Geoffrey Joseph Kuskie Prize

The Geoffrey Joseph Kuskie Prize is an annual poetry essay competition open to all undergraduate students at the University of Queensland. The prize awards at least $1,250 to the best essay on poetry as determined by prize examiners. Established in 2020, the prize is maintained by a bequest from the estate of the late Violet Kuskie, in memory of her husband Geoffrey Joseph Kuskie. Students compete by submitting an essay on poetry through an online application portal. The prize recognizes excellence in creative and academic writing about poetry, providing recognition and financial support to outstanding undergraduate students.
