Omar Musa – Miles Franklin Award

August 7, 2026

Congratulations to Omar Musa on winning the 2026 Miles Franklin Literary Award for Fierceland. One of Australia’s most celebrated writers, poets and performers, Omar continues to captivate audiences across literature, music and theatre.

We’re proud to have premiered The Offering (A Plastic Ocean Oratorio) at Riverside’s National Theatre of Parramatta’s Heartland Festival last year, a powerful collaboration between Omar Musa and Mariel Roberts Musa that blends spoken word, live music and extraordinary storytelling. Now available for touring, The Offering is a moving and unforgettable theatrical experience we can’t wait to share with more audiences around the country.
Congratulations,

Omar, on this well-deserved achievement.
