Costa Book Awards

ai generated text

The Costa Book Awards were a set of annual literary awards given to English-language books by writers based in the UK and Ireland. The awards were established in 1971 as the Whitbread Book Awards and were renamed the Costa Book Awards in 2006 after Costa Coffee, a subsidiary of Whitbread, took over sponsorship. The awards were given in six categories: Biography, Children's Books, First Novel, Novel, Poetry, and Short Story, and the winners received £5,000. The awards were considered a populist literary prize and were aimed at conveying the enjoyment of reading to a wide audience. The awards were terminated abruptly in 2022 after Costa Coffee was purchased by the Coca-Cola Company.learn more on wikipedia
