Liminal is honoured to receive the Special Award, offered to a literary work not covered by the existing categories of the NSW Literary Awards, in recognition of an exceptional contribution to the literary life of Australia.

As she stated in her acceptance speech: in a time when projects like Liminal are being swiftly dismantled and attacked disingenuously overseas, it feels quite lucky to have Liminal recognised for the last eight years of our work.
