Fulbright-Creative New Zealand Pacific Writer's Residency

The Fulbright-Creative New Zealand Pacific Writer's Residency is for an established New Zealand writer of Pacific heritage to carry out work on a creative writing project exploring Pacific identity, culture or history at the University of Hawai'i for three months. The recipient will be based at the Center for Pacific Islands Studies at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa in Honolulu for either the Fall (August-November) or Spring (February-May) semester of the US academic year. Hawai'i has been identified as a strategic location for artists and is considered the hub of Pacific writing with numerous universities, library resources, networks, writers' forums and publishers. It is also an important link to the mainland US and has a strong indigenous culture. One award valued at NZ$33,300 is granted each year, towards three months of writing. This award is offered in partnership with Creative New Zealand, the national arts development agency developing, investing in and advocating for the arts.
