Multiple rounds of deliberations to choose the ultimate contenders
Italian Literary Prize's Selection Process Under the Spotlight
The Campiello Prize, one of Italy's most prestigious literary awards, is in the midst of its annual selection process. This year, the process is being led by Giorgio Zanchini, the new president of the literary jury.
The Campiello Prize is unique in that it accepts submissions from all authors, regardless of their publishing houses. Each year, the jury receives hundreds of PDF submissions, as Zanchini mentions. The jury, composed of renowned literary figures who take their role very seriously, carefully selects which books to read in full.
The selection process is lengthy, lasting months, and this year is no exception. The jury holds numerous meetings for discussion during the selection process. In these meetings, they deliberate on the merits of each book, ensuring a fair and thorough evaluation.
Several dozen books are read in full by the jury, and the books that make it to the final five are selected by the Campiello Prize. This year, the Campiello Prize is also responsible for selecting the prize dedicated to young authors and debut works.
However, there is no information available about Giorgio Zanchini's intentions regarding his vote being decisive this year. What is known is that the Campiello Prize is an Italian literary prize, and the jury takes its role very seriously in selecting the final books and the prize for young authors.
In a recent development, journalist Giorgio Zanchini was unable to cast his vote for the final shortlisted book because he experienced technical difficulties while trying to submit it. Despite this setback, the selection process continues, and the literary community eagerly awaits the announcement of the winners.
The Campiello Prize is an important event in the Italian literary calendar, and the selection process is a testament to the dedication and hard work of the jury in ensuring that the best books are recognised and celebrated.
