The Crime Writers’ Association

Sponsor a CWA Dagger

The Daggers were established in 1955 to celebrate the very best in crime writing. More than half a century later they’re still recognised as the most prestigious crime-writing awards in the UK, and renowned across the globe as a seal of quality.

Sponsors of the awards gain cachet and recognition throughout the world of crime writing, raise their profile both within the industry and beyond, and earn substantial year-round benefits and marketing exposure from the awards cycle.
