Competition - Win a complete signed set of the Ngaio Marsh Award short listed books

Readers from around the world have the opportunity to win personally autographed copies of this year's Ngaio Marsh Award finalists, as the "Reading Kiwi Crime" competition kicks off for 2015. 

Going into the draw to win is simple: all you need to do is take a picture of yourself reading any New Zealand crime, mystery, or thriller title - from old classics like Ngaio Marsh, Fergus Hume, Elizabeth Messenger and Laurie Mantell, to the latest from award winners like Paul Cleave, Paul Thomas, and Neil Cross. Then share it with the Award organisers by:

1.              Tweeting the pic and tagging @ngaiomarshaward; OR

2.              Posting the pic to the Ngaio Marsh Award Facebook page; OR

3.              Emailing the pic to ngaiomarshaward@gmail.com. 

If you follow the Award's twitter account or like the Facebook page, you'll get a bonus entry in the draw. 

Just to clarify: the book in your photo doesn't have to be set in New Zealand, just written by an author connected to New Zealand (citizen, resident, grew up here, etc). If you're scratching your head for choices, here's a long list of possibilities.

So grab something from your shelf or hit your local bookstore or library, and get snapping. 

The winner will be drawn on 4 October when the winner of the 2015 Ngaio Marsh Award is announced.
