Notornis – New Author Award

An annual Notornis – New Author Award of $300 is offered for the best Notornis publication where the sole or lead author has not previously published in Notornis or any other scientific journal.

Applicants must be current members of Birds New Zealand, and must state when submitting their manuscripts that they are a first-time author and wish to apply for the award. The award can be applied for once only.

We seek well-researched and well-written papers that make a significant contribution to ornithology in the South Pacific region (including New Zealand and Antarctica).

Students are able to apply for both Notornis awards (if eligible) but one award only will be granted to any one manuscript.
