Writers working
in the Mind Body Spirit genre have just nine days left to enter their work to
the 2016 Ashton Wylie Charitable Trust Literary Awards.
The Awards, now
in their 13th year have a total prize value of $20,000. There are two
categories; one for Unpublished Manuscripts and the second for a published
work. The winner of each category receives $10,000.
Entries close on
31 March 2016.
Spokesperson for
The Ashton Wylie Charitable Trust, Adonia Wylie says the judging panel is
looking for fiction or non-fiction works that have the potential to uplift and
enhance people, relationships and society.
“The diversity
and talent of writers working in this mind body spirit field is impressive. We
enjoy reading works that extend our knowledge of the genre and encourage all
writers to submit their work.”
Last year,
Canterbury minister, Ron Hay won the $10,000 award in the Published Book
category for his work: Finding
the Forgotten God. Rohana Ulluwishewa, an Honorary Research
Associate at Massey University – Palmerston North, won the $10,000 Unpublished
Manuscript category prize for Spirituality Demystified: Understanding
Spirituality in Rational Terms.
The awards are
unique in the country for their encouragement of writing in the mind, body,
spirit field.
Shortlisted

ceremony at The Ashton Wylie Charitable Trust’s own venue, Hopetoun Alpha in
