Raven Award

The Raven Award is an award given annually by the Mystery Writers of America as part of the Edgar Awards. The Raven Award is given from time to time to non-writers and institutions who have made significant professional contributions to our genre or to MWA. The Board may choose not to award a Raven in any given year.

The first one was presented in 1953. It's not always bestowed every year like the Best Novel or Best Short Story category. Some years feature multiple honorees, while others have none. Though, there was a winner since 1995 up to and including 2022.
