List of richest literary awards

• The award is active and is primarily focused on writing (novels, poetry, non-fiction etc..) • The remuneration is equal to or greater than US$100,000 or equivalent. Because fluctuating exchange rates move non-US dollar denominated awards in and out of the list over time, awards near this amount are also included. • The award is for any genre of writing (fiction, journalism, etc.) or award type (book or author). • The listed remuneration is for a single winner or co-winners. The list does not aggregate the total value of runners-up and other prizes within the same award. For example, the Prime Minister's Literary Awards is listed as A$100,000 even though it is composed of four prizes totalling A$400,000. == Awards ==
