The June Shenfield award celebrates the life and work of June Shenfield – a poet, playwright and performance artist, who lived and worked in Paris, but was educated in Melbourne and was a graduate of Swinburne University.

June died in 2004 and her mother established the Award, as a lasting tribute to her daughter and her work.

Swinburne University manages the Award which is made annually for the best poetry by a Swinburne student, judged by a panel of professional writers and editors.

This year’s winner was David Prater, for his poem "Space Kus" and the Certificate of Commendation awarded to Katherine Stuart, for her poem "To my sisters"
