Find out about the entries and winners in this year's Heritage Literary Awards.
The awards ceremony will see the presentation of prizes to the category winners, also of the judge's reports, and the winners and runners-up will read from their work.
Members of the community interested in literary events will be in attendance.
There will be a chance to purchase the short-listed books, and to meet with the writers and judges.
This has become a noted literary occasion in the New Zealand literary calendar.
