TREVOR ZWECK AWARD

What it is 
​

  • An award known as "The Trevor Zweck Award" may be made at each ANZTLA annual conference
     

  • The recipient of the Award should be a person who, in the opinion of the Board, has made a significant contribution 
    to the development of theological libraries and librarianship in Australia or New Zealand in any way during the 
    previous twelve months. Recipients need not necessarily be librarians or members of ANZTLA.
     

  • No person may receive the Award on more than one occasion
     

  • The Board will decide each year whether or not the award is to be conferred. This decision will be made after consideration
    of nominations received from ANZTLA members and Chapters. The Board is free not to grant the Award if no nominations
    are received or if it cannot agree on a nomination for a particular year. If more than one nomination for the Award is received, 
    then the Board may decide to confer more than one Zweck Award in the same year.
