Awards & grants

Entries for the 2019 CLNZ/NZSA Writers' Award open 2 August 2019. This $25,000 award is one of the investments made through the CLNZ Cultural Fund and is open to writers of any genre of non-fiction, including writers of education material. The award enables the successful applicant to devote time to a specific writing project.

Entries for the 2019 CLNZ Contestable Fund Grants open in September 2019. Each year a portion of the revenue allocated to the CLNZ Cultural Fund is made available in a contestable fund.

Entries for the 2018 awards are now closed and the finalists and winners have been selected. The next round will be held in 2020. The CLNZ Education Awards occur every two years and celebrate excellence in New Zealand educational resource development.

The CLNZ Cultural Fund contributes to the PANZ Industry Training Fund. This training fund supports three programmes and provides development opportunities for each stage of a career in publishing.

As the Cultural Fund Awards and Grants come to a close for 2018, let's celebrate the achievements of the winners, recipients and finalists.
