The Russell Prize (Russell Prize for Humour Writing) is an Australian literary prize awarded every second year by the State Library of New South Wales to a humorous book. It was established in 2014 through a donation by Peter Wentworth Russell, "a farmer, businessman and passionate reader".[1][2] A shortlist of six books is selected and publicly announced before the prize, which comes with a cash award of $10,000.[3][4]
In 2021 a second category, Humour Writing for Young People, was introduced for a work aimed at the 5–12 age group.[5] Both winners were announced in June 2021.[6]
