2025 Ann Morgan Prize for Creative Writing
AAIMH Vic is delighted to offer the 16th Ann Morgan Prize in 2025!
About Ann Morgan
Dr Ann Morgan was a wise and curious thinker, with a fine intellect and a passion for good writing. The Ann Morgan Prize was conceived
in 2009 as a way of honouring Dr Ann Morgan’s significant contribution to infant mental health, through her teaching, advocacy, writing,
and support in the development of what we now know as the Australian Association for Infant Mental Health. The prize offers an opportunity
for AAIMH members to explore their thinking about their work with infants by writing creatively about them and their families.
