CANBERRA CRITICS CIRCLE AWARDS 2019


The 29th ACT Canberra Critics Circle Arts Awards were held at Canberra Museum and Gallery last night. We were delighted to be able to attend to present some of the awards. Congratulations to all of the award recipients who included our very own Creative Producer extraordinaire Nigel Featherstone, for Bodies of Men, and ACT Writers Centre member Kathryn Hind for Hitch.

Robert Macklin received an award for historical fiction for Castaway, and the nonfiction award went to Ginger Gorman for Troll Hunting. Moya Pacey and Sandra Renew were also recognised for their influential work in exposing Canberra women’s poetry to view through their biannual online journal for women's poetry, Not Very Quiet. Congratulations to all the award winners!

L-R: Katy Mutton, Ginger Gorman, Paul Bissett, and Kathryn Hind
