New Zealanders are asked to nominate their pick of the country’s
finest writers for the 2017 Prime Minister’s Awards for Literary Achievement.
Nominees
should be writers who have made a significant contribution to New Zealand
literature in the categories of non-fiction, poetry or fiction. The winner of
each genre is awarded $60,000.
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.
Nominations
close on Friday, 7 April at 5pm.
In
2016, David Eggleton received the award for poetry, Marilyn Duckworth for
fiction and Atholl Anderson for non-fiction.
