Kościelski Award

The Kościelski Award (Polish: Nagroda Fundacji im. Kościelskich, Nagroda Kościelskich) is an independent Polish literary award, awarded since 1962 by the Geneva-based Kościelski Foundation. The jury issues annual awards to "promising writers" 40 years of age or younger. This is the second oldest independent award in Polish literature after the Award of the Union of Polish Writers Abroad that was established in London in 1951.

Check the official rules of the Kościelski Award for the current eligibility window, accepted formats, residency or language requirements and any entry fee. For most established prizes the publisher submits on the author's behalf, often with a limit on entries per imprint.

If you are self-published, look for an explicit statement that independently published books are accepted, and budget for entry fees and copies for judges.
