The Alternative Nobel: Vote opens for a suprising new literature prize - The Guardian

Today's trip into the Catosphere took Panzer to The Guardian site. There our traveling kitty pilot found a post about the New Academy literature prize.

According to Alison Flood, the Swedish Academy Nobel prize for literature may be gone for 2018, but the New Academy prize for literature is here to fill the void. Sexual misconduct allegations derailed this year's Nobel prize for literature. The New Academy has stepped up and asked Swedish librarians to put together the long-list for the new literature prize. The public can now vote on this long-list of nominees by August 14. The short list created by this vote will be passed on to the New Academy judges to pick the 2018 prize winner. There's a link at the site to a post about the Nobel prize for literature scandal.

No Nobel prize? That's depressing.

Panzer says, "There are some interesting rules for this new prize."
