I will of course be keeping you up to date with what's happening with this year's award here on Crime Watch, including upcoming announcements about any longlist, the finalists for the award, the judging panel, and the ceremony itself, which is scheduled to be held during the Christchurch Writers Festival, in Dame Ngaio's hometown.
The Award also has its own Facebook page, where photos from prior ceremonies, as well as information about the Award and general crime fiction happenings, are shared. If you are a Facebook user, it would be terrific if you could 'like' the page, which can be found here.
