Talk:List of richest literary prizes

Prestige vs Prize amount
Some of the most prestigious awards are also the most valuable, such as the Nobel Prize. Other prestigious awards have modest prize amounts in comparison, for example in the US the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and National Book Award are valued at only US$10,000 each, yet are among the most prestigious in the country. Likewise some of the world's most valuable prizes can be relatively obscure, such as the Pritzker Military Library Literature Award.

 * Gracias! Green Cardamom (talk) 02:49, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
 * El premio Ciudad de Torrevieja ya no otorga ningún accésit desde el año 2010. Sólo hay un premio en metálico para el ganador, pero ya no para el finalista. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.42.197.4 (talk) 20:57, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

Georg Büchner Prize
Hi, thanks for the addition. The problem with this one is the prize amount since the list has a cut off of $100,000. There are a few under that amount since exchange rates could conceivably bring them up into the list. But for the Büchner Prize would require the Euro to trade at 2:1 to the dollar which is almost inconceivable, the highest its ever been was around 1.5 and currently under 1.25. The alternative is to reduce barrier for entry into the list. There are tons more in the 50-100 range which would make the list too indiscriminate. Green Cardamom (talk) 14:52, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

Rankings caution box
The below rankings caution box was removed from the article, it provides warning since the press has used this list to rank awards:

The reason given for deletion was:


 * "just goes to show how lazy the press are"

Hah true, well what can you do? Certainly not punish people for being "lazy", by removing the warning so they continue making the same logic error misinforming themselves or worse the public. Rankings and statistics are commonly misused and misunderstood by everyone. In fact the FBI has an entire page devoted to warning about ranking their crime lists. For this list it also makes sense to give a warning, given the issues noted in the above warning box. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 17:57, 12 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Since when did it become the job of Wikipedia to tell third parties how to use the information contained within? How odd.  The Rambling Man (talk) 19:49, 12 November 2013 (UTC)
 * When there is an instance when information can be misinterpreted it is within our editorial control to clarify that information. If your concern is about "telling people what to do", that wasn't the intent though I can see your point, it can easily be reworded to say something like "This list is not a ranking of awards (i.e...).. " -- Green Cardamom (talk) 23:21, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

Inexactitudes
Veo que ponen que el "Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award" es el premio mejor dotado para colecciones de relatos. Eso no es verdad. El Premio de Narrativa Breve Ribera del Duero (de carácter bienal) está dotado con 50.000 euros, es decir, el doble. Por otra parte, el premio que convocaba el ayuntamiento de Ciudad de Torrevieja ya se dejó de convocar hace varios años, y el Premio Primavera ha reducido su dotación de 200.000 a 100.000 euros. Saludos desde mi país subdesarrollado a tu país de ideas extrañas, como eso del "first kiss", "I've got a date", "teen", etcétera. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.233.239.55 (talk) 21:37, 7 December 2014 (UTC)


 * ¡Hola! Le escribo con Google Translate. Gracias por la información que he hecho cambios. Idioma español incluye los mejores premios de literatura del mundo, pero no sigo de cerca. Si usted ve cualquier otro cambio por favor, publicarlo y voy a actualizar. Saludos. -- Green  C  22:41, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Oye, en vista de que te gusta que avise de cosas para mejorar tu artículo, hay un concurso de "microrrelatos" que convoca una institución española llamada "Museo de la Palabra" . El vocablo 'microrrelato' es un neologismo con el que se designa a textos narrativos muy breves, como "El dinosaurio" de Monterroso . En el caso de ese certamen, sólo se puede participar con textos de hasta cien palabras y el ganador obtiene 20.000 dólares. Se puede participar con textos en español, inglés, árabe y hebreo, y la convocatoria es anual. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.233.239.55 (talk) 00:20, 8 December 2014 (UTC)
 * veo International Flash Fiction Competition.. Necesito una fuente que dice que es el premio más rico ficción flash (micro ficción) en el mundo. Entonces puedo añadirlo. Gracias. -- Green  C  22:10, 8 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Deberías escribirme en inglés porque Google Translate arroja textos en un idioma que no es el español precisamente. Creo que lo que quisiste decir es que te falta una fuente para añadir el dato. Eso de "International Flash Fiction Competition" se refiere a lo mismo que "Fundación César Egido Serrano" y "Museo de la Palabra". Existe una forma de probar que es el premio mejor dotado para "microrrelatos". Tengo en mi Gmail un mensaje de esa fundación en que se señala que World Guinness Records está evaluando añadir su certamen a su lista por ser el mejor dotado del mundo por palabra. No creo que se trate de una broma. Podría darte un screenshot, pero no quiero darme el trabajo de editarlo ocultando mi nombre. Así que te recomiendo que hagas una búsqueda en Google con "Guinness" y "Museo de la Palabra" y verás que, en efecto, no hay otro con esas características: 20.000 dólares por un relato de 100 palabras o menos. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.233.239.55 (talk) 01:09, 9 December 2014 (UTC)

Misnamed
"as described and sourced in the Notes column." There is no Notes column. Kdammers (talk) 04:25, 20 January 2022 (UTC)


 * The table has columns ("Prize name", "Host country") and has a column "Notes". --  Green  C  06:19, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
