Whitbread Novel Award : ウィキペディア英語版
Costa Book Awards
The Costa Book Awards are a set of annual literary awards recognising English-language books by writers based in Britain and Ireland. They were inaugurated for 1971 publications and known as the Whitbread Book Awards until 2006 when Costa Coffee, a subsidiary of Whitbread, took over sponsorship.〔〔 The companion Costa Short Story Award was established in 2012.〔
The awards are given both for high literary merit but also for works that are enjoyable reading and whose aim is to convey the enjoyment of reading to the widest possible audience. As such, they are a more populist literary prize than the Booker Prize.
In 1989, controversy erupted when the judges first awarded the Best Novel prize to Alexander Stuart's ''The War Zone'', then withdrew the prize prior to the ceremony amid acrimony among the judges, ultimately awarding it to Lindsay Clarke's ''The Chymical Wedding''.
==Process==
Authors need not be British or Irish but they must have been resident in the UK or Ireland for at least six months in each of the previous three years.
There are five book award categories, without change since the Poetry Award was introduced in 1985, although the children's category has been termed "children's novel" or "children's book of the year".〔〔
* Novel
* First novel
* Children's book
* Poetry
* Biography
The winning books are selected from shortlists by five distinct panels of judges. Each of the five winning writers receives £5,000.
One of the winning books is then named Costa Book of the Year with a further £25,000 prize. That overall award is determined by a panel comprising five judges from the first round and four new ones.
* Short story
The short story award was established in 2012 with a prize of £3,500.〔 The winning story is determined by public vote from a shortlist of six that are selected by a panel of judges. The process is "blind" at both stages for the unpublished entries are anonymous until the conclusion.〔〔
In the inaugural year, the six short story finalists had been published anonymously online by 28 November 2012 and the public vote was underway. The winner was to be announced 29 January 2013.〔
