Description

Central News Agency Literary Award (CNA Literary Award) was a major annual literary award named after the South African bookstore chain CNA. Established by Phillip Stein, it honored works of prose and poetry in English and Afrikaans. Entrants were required to be South African by birth or permanent residency. The last award was presented in 1996, after which CNA launched the "Book of the Year" award for mass-market bestsellers.
