The Asher Award was a biennial Australian literary award administered by the Australian Society of Authors between 2005 and 2017.[1] It was established by the Australia Council after a bequest from the late author Helen Asher. It was disestablished in 2017 when the bequest had been fully expended. The amount of $12,000 was awarded to “a female author whose work carries an anti-war theme”.[2]
