- New Zealand Post Katherine Mansfield Prize
-
The New Zealand Post Katherine Mansfield Prize, formerly known as the Katherine Mansfield Menton Fellowship and then the Meridian Energy Katherine Mansfield Memorial Fellowship, is one of New Zealands foremost literary awards. Named after Katherine Mansfield, one of New Zealands leading historical writers, the award gives winners (fellows, whether male or female) funding towards transport to and accommodation in Menton, France, where Katherine Mansfield went when her health declined.
The prize is open to New Zealand citizens and residents whose fiction, poetry, literary non-fiction, children’s fiction or playwriting has had favourable impact. Unlike the Montana New Zealand Book Awards, which are the other widely-known New Zealand literary awards, the Katherine Mansfield Prize is to an individual to develop their future work, rather than for a specific already-published work.
The prize is awarded Winn-Manson Menton Trust, set up by Celia Manson and Sheilah Winn, but administered by Creative New Zealand (a crown entity).
