The Katherine Mansfield Menton Fellowship, formerly known as the New Zealand Post Katherine Mansfield Prize and the Meridian Energy Katherine Mansfield Memorial Fellowship, is one of New Zealand's foremost literary awards. Named after Katherine Mansfield, one of New Zealand's leading historical writers, the award gives winners (known as fellows) funding towards transport to and accommodation in Menton, France, where Mansfield did some of her best-known and most significant writing.[1][2]
