The Brienne Award for Literature is an award given to books once a year by a panel of academics, authors, and critics. The Brienne Award was first issued in 1884 and continued until 1946. The award was reintroduced last year and will continue to honor world literature by recognizing specific works of note. However, the panel may not select the books themselves. Instead, submissions must be presented by university departments. A university may nominate up to three books. However, these books must be in different categories*.
