The Ockham New Zealand Book Awards are the country’s premier literary honors for books written by New Zealanders. These awards have a rich history, having evolved from earlier literary awards. The original awards were established in 1968 as the Wattie Book Awards, later becoming the Goodman Fielder Wattie Book Awards. Subsequently, they were known as the Montana New Zealand Book Awards and the New Zealand Post Book Awards.

The awards recognize books in several categories: Fiction, Poetry, Illustrated Nonfiction, General Nonfiction, First Time Authors, and Maori Language Writing
