Yes it is, though I was not even thinking about that, I was looking up different awards and was and came across this one and thought the list of winners sounded interesting. I was actually torn between this and the Booker Prize.That is an American one?

We've pretty much covered all the major international ones.
Since the American National Book Award was nominated, I guess I'll nominate the Governor General's Award for English language fiction.

Anyone fancy nominating a poetry prize for the last choice? Or non-fiction? Might make a refreshing change.
