W.A. Hofmeyr Prize

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The W.A. Hofmeyr Prize is awarded annually for literary excellence in drama, poetry and prose that could "shift the boundaries of Afrikaans literature."[1] It was instituted in 1954 by Nasionale Pers in honour of Afrikaans businessman W.A. Hofmeyr, a former chairman of the company. It is part of the Media24 Books Literary Awards (previously called the Via Afrika Awards). Originally only books published by Nasionale Boekhandel (NB Publishers) were eligible, but it is now open to all presses within the Media24 stable.[2] As of 2020, the award was worth R35 000.[3]
