News Library Nominations for 2023 are now OPEN

We are delighted to announce that the Nomination process for the 2023 DUBLIN Literary Award has officially begun and we are inviting our network of libraries to participate in the 28th year of this prestigious international literary award.

The award is unique because the books are nominated by libraries throughout the world. It is presented annually for a novel written in English, or in English translation from any language. A panel of six judges will decide on the winning book for its high literary merit.

In May, French author, Alice Zeniter and Irish Translator, Frank Wynne won the 2022 DUBLIN Literary Award for The Art of Losing, which was nominated for the Award by just one library: Bibliothèque publique d’information, Centre Pompidou, Paris. Warmest congrats to the team at the Pompidou Library for choosing the 2022 Winner. Your library might have the honour of choosing the 28th Winner for the 2023 Award!

If your library would like to get involved, please get in touch by emailing literaryaward@dublincity.ie.

You can view the complete 2023 Rules and Conditions in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French and Chinese by clicking on the relevant language.
