== History ==
The NZSA Janet Frame Memorial Award was an award for New Zealand writers of poetry and imaginative fiction.

[[Janet Frame]] was a member of the writers’ organisation that is now called the [[New Zealand Society of Authors]], or NZSA (then named the NZ PEN Centre) and had been greatly helped by being awarded the [[Hubert Church]] Memorial Award in 1951 for her first book, ''The Lagoon and other stories''.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref> This award was made possible by a bequest to the NZ PEN Centre from Hubert Church’s widow in 1945.<ref name=":5"> Grants Fellowships |last=|first=|date=|website=NZSA The New Zealand Society of Authors (Pen NZ Inc) Te Puni Kaituhi o Aotearoa|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=2 February 2019}}</ref><ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref><ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>

A few years after Janet Frame’s death, in August 2007, the Janet Frame Literary Trust gave the NZSA a gift to fund an award in her name, to be given to an author of literary or imaginative fiction, or poetry.<ref name=":5" />

The award was first made in 2008 and the fifth and final award was made in 2016. It carried a monetary value of $3,000.<ref name=":5" />
