At a breakfast ceremony held on Monday 14 July 2008, Clare Wigfall received $15,000 because she won an award for a single short story. It was the largest award in the world for a single short story . Jane Gardam, who was unable to attend, received $3,000 for 'The People on Privilege Hill' story.
The three remaining authors on the shortlist was Richard Beard, Erin Soros and Adam Thorpe. They each received $500
It's exciting that a relatively unknown voice, in fact the youngest writer on our shortlist, has distinguished herself amongst some very well known authors as a leading talent in the world of storytelling.
They felt very happy as they had won the award.
