Don’t miss your opportunity to nominate your pick of our
finest writers for the 2016 Prime Minister’s Awards for Literary Achievement.
Every year, New Zealanders are invited to nominate writers
who have made a significant contribution to New Zealand literature in the
categories of non-fiction, poetry or fiction. $60,000 is awarded in each genre.
New Zealand writers are also able to nominate themselves for
the awards.
The nominations are assessed by an expert literary panel and
recommendations forwarded to the Arts Council of Creative New Zealand for
approval, with the awards presented in a formal ceremony.
In 2015, Roger Hall was awarded for Fiction; Bernadette Hall
for Poetry and Dame Joan Metge for Non-Fiction. See the full list of
winners here
Nominations close on Friday, 19 May at 5pm.
