Windham–Campbell Literature Prizes

The Donald Windham Sandy M. Campbell Literature Prizes is an American literary award which offers prizes in three categories: fiction, nonfiction and drama. The award was established at Yale University in 2011 with the first prizes presented in 2013.[1][2][3] Administered by the Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library, the award recognizes English language writers from anywhere in the world. The mission of the award is to call attention to literary achievement and provide writers the opportunity to focus on their work independent of financial concerns. Up to nine prizes are awarded annually. Winners receive a citation and an unrestricted remuneration of $150,000. The individual prizes are among the richest literary prize amounts in the world, if not the richest in certain categories.[1] The award's endowment is from the estate of writer Donald Windham. Sandy Campbell (male) was his companion of 45 years.[1]
