NIHSS Awards
From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki
The NIHSS Awards for Book, Creative and Digital Collections honour scholars, artists, writers and other cultural workers who have made contributions to the Humanities and Social Sciences in South Africa. Launched in 2016, they recognise works that show innovation and social relevance.The varied award categories include writing (fiction, non-fiction and poetry, monographs and edited volumes); "creative collections" (musical compositions, performances and visual arts); and digital humanities and infographics.[1]
The awards are administered by the South African National Institute for the Humanities and Social Sciences (NIHSS), an independent statutory body that advances and co-ordinates scholarship in the fields of Humanities and the Social Sciences at South African public universities.[2]
