| Pages in this category should be moved to subcategories where applicable. This category may require frequent maintenance to avoid becoming too large. It should directly contain very few, if any, pages and should mainly contain subcategories. |
Prizes and awards extended in recognition of various forms of literary endeavor: novels, poetry, biography, drama, translation, etc. For other types of writing, see Category:Writing awards.
New literary awards articles should ideally be added to four categories:
- A sub-category(s) within Category:Literary awards by genre and type (make new Categories as needed. May need multiple categories like Fiction and First Book)
- A sub-category within: Category:Literary awards by country. If it is a regional-focused award (Europe, "The South", Toronto, etc.) create a new category following the example of Category:Culture of British Columbia->Category:British Columbia awards (state/province); or, Category:Culture of New England->Category:New England awards(sub-region); or Category:Culture of Toronto->Category:Toronto awards (city). In these cases the "Culture" category should be used if the "Award" category is red-link (unless you could populate a new Award category with more than 1 award). For multi-country regions (i.e. Nordic awards, Caribbean awards), see Category:Literary awards by region.
- A sub-category within Category:Awards by year of establishment. Example: Category:Awards established in 2011
- A sub-category within Category:Establishments by country and year. Example: Category:2011 establishments in England
Other possible categories:
- If it's a new Category containing authors and/or books that have won a specific award (e.g. Category:Pulitzer Prize for Fiction-winning works), add that Category to one of the "Books/Novels/Writers by award" categories.
- If the award is primarily focused on a language, and not a region or country, use Category:Literary awards by language, but still use Category:Literary awards by country for where the award is hosted with an inline comment disambiguating which is which. For example:
- [[Category:Arabic literary awards]] <!--scope of award-->
- [[Category:British literary awards]] <!--host country of award-->
