The Ledger Awards are Australia’s only comics-specific awards, created to celebrate, acknowledge and promote excellence in Australian comic books, graphic novels, web comics and comix.
Held on the first night of the Sydney Writers’ Festival, the awards recognise the best Australian writers — including novelists, poets, playwrights, scriptwriters and authors of non-fiction and children’s books.
Be the first to hear from some of the 2019 winners of the prestigious NSW Premier’s Literary Awards, in conversation with Senior Judge Suzanne Leal.
Join us at the Library as we celebrate 2019 UNESCO International Jazz Day!

We’ll kick off with Dr V’s Swing Thing at 5pm who will be followed by the ARIA award winning Monsieur Camembert.
