Katara Prize for Arabic Novel
The Katara Prize for Arabic Novel is an Arabic literary prize based in Qatar. It was established in 2014 by the Katara Cultural Village. The total prize pool is $650,000 and the main prize $200,000, making it one of the richest literary prizes in the world.[1][2][3] One of its sponsors is UNESCO.[4] The winning novels will be translated into five languages - including French and English.
The prize was originally split into two major categories: published and unpublished novels each of which had five winners. More recently, prizes were added for research/literary criticism and for young adult unpublished novels. For the published novels, the five winners originally received $60,000 while five winners under unpublished category were each awarded $30,000. Among the winners in each category, one was chosen as the "drama" winner in which the winning works are guaranteed film adaptations. The drama winner in the published category received an additional $200,000.
In addition to the original award for Arabic novels, separate awards have been given for Arabic short stories and poetry.[5]
