The Storylines Tessa Duder Award is a New Zealand award made to the author of a work of fiction for young adults aged 13 and above.
History
The Tessa Duder Award (officially known as the Storylines Tessa Duder Award) first began in 2010, in partnership with HarperCollins Publishers. It is now sponsored by Walker Books Australia. The award is named after New Zealand writer Tessa Duder in recognition of her outstanding contribution to children's literature, both as a writer and as a supporter and promoter of children's books and publishing.
The award comes with a cash prize and the offer of publication.
The award is presented at the Storylines Margaret Mahy Awards Day together with the Margaret Mahy Award and the announcement of the winners of the Tom Fitzgibbon Award, Joy Cowley Award and the Gaelyn Gordon Award for a Much-Loved Book. This event is held in Auckland on the weekend closest to 2 April, International Children’s Book Day (and the birthday of Hans Christian Andersen).
