Don’t miss your opportunity to
nominate your pick of our finest writers for the 2016 Prime Minister’s Awards
for Literary Achievement. There’s just one week to go before nominations close.
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
