It is sponsored by the City of Fremantle, Fremantle Press, Fremantle Library and "The West Australian".
First established in 1988, the award was set up to discover and develop new writers from Western Australia who have not previously been published in book form.
As of 2018, the City of Fremantle pledged to support the award for a further six years. The prize money received by the winner will be $15,000 for the 2020, 2022 and 2024 award.
The winner receives a cash prize and a publishing contract with Fremantle Press. Many of the shortlisted writers also go on to be offered publishing contracts either by Fremantle Press or other publishing houses.
The Award is named in honour of Tom Hungerford (b 1915, d 2011) a prominent Western Australian writer.
