Every year, New Zealanders are invited to nominate their
choice of an outstanding 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.
The nominations are assessed by an expert literary panel
and recommendations forwarded to Creative New Zealand for approval, with the
award recipients announced in a ceremony at Premier House.
In 2011, Dame Fiona Kidman gained the award for Fiction;
Peter Bland for Poetry and James Belich (left) for Non-Fiction.

Nominations close on 22 May at 5pm. Don’t miss your
opportunity to support an outstanding New Zealand writer, whose work has
entertained, moved or inspired you.
