The entry period for the 2018 Ngaio Marsh Awards is now open.

We are currently accepting entries in the Best Crime Novel and Best First Novel categories, and will be endeavouring to contact any Kiwi crime writers (and their publishers) who released books in 2017 with entry details.

If you have any questions, please feel free to message us here or email us at ngaiomarshaward[at]gmail.com.

We will also be running Murder in the Library events across the country (and perhaps overseas) to celebrate our Kiwi crime writers, and the winners will be announced as part of the WORD Christchurch festival later this year. Best of luck everyone!
