The publishing component of the 2021 ACT Writing & Publishing Awards has been postponed until 2022

An update on the 2020 ACT Publishing awards.

Thank you all for your patience. 2022 will see ACTW hosting a new format of awards; the ACTW Notable book awards.

The ACT Notable Awards is a special initiative to celebrate what our writers have overcome in 2020 and 2021, and to showcase the brilliant writing that has come out of the ACT in that time. Books published from traditional publishers, small presses and self published publications released in 2020 and 2021 eligible to enter. 

It will be a mix of big and small press entries, with books published in 2020 and 2021 eligible. For each category there will be four winners – we will assure that the judging is fair and winner from each category will be from each year. 

We will be reopening entries for the ACT Notable book awards on Friday 4 March 2022. Entries will be open for 4 weeks, with entries closing 9am Monday 4 April 2022. 

You can reach ACT Writers by email, phone or on social media. Operation hours are Thursday-Friday from 10am to 4pm. For enquiries related directly to the awards, please contact admin@actwriters.org
