The idea for The Van Diemen History Prize came out of a conversation with Associate Professor Kristyn Harman, of the University of Tasmania. Her idea was then honed to fit the underlying philosophy of Forty South Tasmania - high-quality writing on a Tasmanian theme, aimed at a general audience. The competition is for articles up to 3,000 words on any aspect of Tasmanian history prior to the 21st century.The Van Diemen Anthology 2021 contains a selection of the best articles from the 2020-2021 competitionwritten by Tony Fenton, Terry Mulhern, John Beswick, David Faber, Madonna Grehan, Nic Haygarth, Fiona MacFarlane, Erica Nathan, Rohan Price, Danielle Scrimshaw and Bradley Wood.
