Don’t miss your opportunity to support an outstanding New
Zealand writer, whose work has entertained, moved or inspired you.
Nominations close this Friday 2 May for the 2014
Prime Minister’s Awards for Literary Achievement.
Every year, New Zealanders are invited to nominate their
choice of a writer who has made a significant contribution to New Zealand
literature in the genres of non-fiction, poetry and fiction.
New Zealand writers are also able to nominate themselves for
these awards, which are valued at $60,000 for each of the genres.
The nominations are assessed by an expert literary panel and
recommendations forwarded to Creative New Zealand for approval, with the award
recipients announced at a ceremony in Premier House. In 2013, Owen Marshall was
awarded for Fiction; Michele Leggott for Poetry and Martin Edmond for
Non-Fiction. Previous winners include Dame Fiona Kidman, Sam Hunt and Michael
King.
