This year's winner is Helen Ennis, for her book Margaret Michaelis: Love, Loss and Photography, published by the National Gallery of Australia.

Judges report

A story of migration, photography and politics, the life of Austrian-born Margaret Michaelis, who came to Australia in 1939, is undeservedly obscure. Helen Ennis remedies this in a remarkable synthesis of art criticism, biography, history and exploration, combining scholarship and fine writing. In this beautifully produced book, Ennis journeys to uncover the mysteries of a life of a fine artist.
