Hermes is the University of Sydney Union’s (USU) annual journal which publishes a variety of creative works created by University of Sydney students. The USU has proudly published Hermes since 1886 which gives it bragging rights as Australia’s oldest literary journal. Hermes is edited by current students and all content within the publication is provided by students, staff and alumni from the University of Sydney. The journal publishes written, creative and visual pieces.
Today, Hermes acts as the printed Creative Catalogue for the USU Creative Awards. Each year winners of The USU Creative Awards have their work published in Hermes, win prize money and have their works displayed professionally at the Verge Gallery
