The Northern Territory Literary Awards promote the incredible talent of writers from across the NT, from seasoned authors to exciting new voices.

This much-loved annual event honours works of outstanding literary merit in seven categories: Essay, Flash Fiction, Non-Fiction, Poetry, Short Story, Theatre, and Youth.

Join us as we announce the winners of this year’s awards at Library & Archives NT in Darwin, with a simultaneous livestream party at Red Kangaroo Books, Alice Springs, and on the Library & Archives NT Facebook page from 5.30pm on Wednesday 24 September.

Come and share in the excitement, applaud the finalists, and be inspired by the Territory’s creative spirit.

Attendance is free, but bookings are essential.

Proudly supported by Brown’s Mart, Charles Darwin University, Kath Manzie Estate, NT Writers’ Centre and Zip Print.
