National Book Prize andTerramaxka Prize 2019

The National Book Council is hereby announcing the shortlist of books, published in 2018, contending for the 2019 National Book Prize.

The adjudication process was launched in April with the publication of the longlist. On the 15th July, the Adjudication Board presented the shortlist at the NBC offices, including statement of justification for each entry that did not make the shortlist. Authors and publishers interested in reading the judges' statement are invited to get in touch with the NBP.

Out of a total of 147 longlisted works, 55 have made the shortlist - 34 books in the adult categories, and 21 for the Terramaxka Prize.

Works shortlisted under biographical and historiographical research are almost equally distributed between the two modes. The Terramaxka category for original works for children up to 7 years was again the one with the most shortlisted titles.

The Adjudication Board will now be selecting the winners of the Book Prize in each separate category in both adult literature (National Book Prize) and children's literature (Terramaxka Prize).

The winners of the Terramaxka Prize will be announced on Tuesday, 5th November, 2019, at the official opening of the Malta Book Festival 2019. The winners of the National Book Prize will be announced at an award-giving ceremony that will be held at Auberge de Castille later this year.
