The 2014 Wales Book of the Year Awards will be announced 10 July, and at WalesOnline Lleucu Siencyn (chief executive of Literature Wales) cleverly tries to drum up interest by taking a World Cup-style look at the contenders, in Welcome to the World Cup of literary prizes.
Okay, maybe a bit of a stretch -- but still: nicely done.
Meanwhile, check out the shortlisted books in the various categories at the Wales Book of the Year Award 2014.
Bonus points to this prize, too, for publishing the lists of all the books that were eligible/considered for the prizes (click through near the bottom of the page) -- also making for a good resource of Welsh (and English-Welsh) titles published in 2013. As I always say: all literary prizes should make these lists of the books that were in the running public (that means you, Man Booker; you, Folio Prize; you, Pulitzers, etc. etc. etc.)
