Multiple months of deliberations and concluding rounds to determine the chosen few
The Campiello Prize, a prestigious literary award in Italy, has a new president for its jury this year. Journalist Giorgio Zanchini, a renowned figure in the literary world, has taken on the responsibility.
Zanchini and his fellow jurors are tasked with reading several dozen books in full, a process that takes months and involves multiple meetings for discussions. The jury carefully selects which books to read in full and requests the physical copy for these.
While the number of books or authors competing for the award this year remains undisclosed, it's clear that the jurors take their role very seriously. They engage in careful consideration and discussion of thoughts about each book before making their decisions.
The Campiello Prize also selects the prize for young writers and debut works, a testament to its commitment to nurturing new talent in the literary field. The jury's decision-making process includes the careful selection of the five final books.
Authors can submit PDFs of their books for initial evaluation, with several hundred received. The jury then decides which books to read in full. Unfortunately, no information is available about the number of books Giorgio Zanchini had to evaluate this year.
The search results do not provide information about the name of the president of the jury of the Campiello Prize before last year, so it's unclear who held the position previously.
It's also worth noting that there's no information available about any debate regarding whether literary prize jurors can read all the books they have to evaluate. Nor is there any information about Giorgio Zanchini's previous decisions or votes.
As for the award ceremony, no date or location has been announced yet. Regardless, with Giorgio Zanchini at the helm, the literary world eagerly awaits the decisions of the Campiello Prize's jury this year.
