The British Book Awards Add New Categories for 2021
Even the awards win awards in the UK, as the British Book Awards is named Event of the Year at the 2020 Independent Publisher Awards.
Deadline for Submissions: February 5
As the British Book Awards open their submissions period for the 2021 prize cycle, the program is adding two categories.
This brings the total number of categories to 28, according to today’s (December 11) announcement.
While that may seem like a lot of categories, the venerable Nibbies, produced by
The Bookseller in London, actually have competition. The fine PROSE Awards in the United States, presented by the Association of American Publishers, this year produced a longlist of 157 works in 49 categories. (The call for entries for the 2021 PROSE Awards closed on November 13. Jurors for this new cycle are here.)
