The Awards - among the highest monetary prizes for works of non-fiction available in New Zealand - have been running since 2002.
The awards are financed from copyright licensing revenue received by CLL from New Zealand institutions on behalf of authors and publishers. They enable New Zealand writers to devote time to specific non-fiction projects.
CLL chief executive Kathy Sheat says one of the main roles of copyright is to provide an incentive for creation and innovation.
"These books are funded from copyright licensing revenue. At the awards’ heart then is the knowledge that everyone contributing to a copyright licence has not only acted within the law, but also invested in the next generation of New Zealand writers."
CLL is also the proud sponsor of the Copyright Licensing Intellectual Property Law Award.
