Bókmenntaverðlaun starfsfólks bókaverslana

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bókmenntaverðlaun starfsfólks bókaverslana ('literature prize of the staff of bookshops') are a set of Icelandic literary prizes which are awarded by the Icelandic Félag starfsfólks bókaverslana (union of bookshop staff) in December every year. The prizes were first awarded in 2000, the same year as the union was founded. The awards are made in the midst of the annual Christmas rush in the Icelandic book market (known as the jólabókaflóð) and generally attract a lot of interest.

Three books are nominated in each of seven categories and the winner in each category is decorated with a special mark and so easily recognised in bookshops.

The union also awards Lóð á vogarskál íslenskra bókmennta during Iceland's book-week.
