Edgar Awards


    U bent bezoeker sinds 1 februari 1997.

De Edgar Allan Poe Award wordt ieder jaar uitgereikt door de Mystery Writers of America. Het is één van de meest prestigieuze prijzen voor auteurs van thrillers en de nominaties worden meestal bekend gemaakt in februari. In april van dat jaar is dan de uiteindelijke uitreiking. De prijs wordt gegeven aan boeken die het jaar daarvoor zijn verschenen, dus de Edgar Award 1997 is gewonnen door een boek dat verschenen is in 1996!

De Mystery Writers Of America (MWA) is de oudste en grootste vereniging voor schrijvers van fictie en non-fictie in Amerika voor het totale genre van thrillers, detectives en crime: oftewel SPANNING. De Edgar Award (in totaal zijn er dertien categorieën) is vernoemd naar Edgar Allan Poe, aangezien zijn in april 1841 verschenen verhaal "The Murders In The Rue Morgue" (Graham's Magazine) gezien wordt als de eerste moderne thriller.Voor de prijs komen alleen boeken in aanmerking die in Amerika zijn uitgebracht. Alle uitgevers kunnen hun boeken toesturen naar de verschillende juryleden en zij kiezen uiteindelijk allemaal vijf mogelijke winnaars. De voorzitter van de MWA beslist dan welke vijf finalisten er zijn (de nominaties) en tenslotte wordt ook de winnaar voor dat jaar aangewezen.

Hieronder een overzicht van de prijswinnaars van de afgelopen jaren:
