@bookstodon This is from a USian perspective, but I suspect the basics apply to other countries with literary prizes. I certainly think it applies to mine.

@william_m_clark
I'm not very familiar with these prizes - do they rank the authors or the works? I would hope the latter, but unless the work is presented anonymously then what possible value is the prize (other than $$, obviously) ?
Also: does selecting judges from previous winners help to ossify what is "acceptable" style?
