The Central News Agency Literary Award (CNA Literary Award, CNA Prize) was a major annual literary award in South Africa.[1] It was named for the CNA chain of bookstores. Founded by Phillip Stein,[2] it recognised works in prose and poetry, and in both the English language and Afrikaans.[3]

The last award was presented in 1996,[4] although CNA later launched a "Book of the Year" award for popular bestsellers of any genre.[5]
