National Book Award
De National Book Award (NBA) is mei de Pulitzerpriis de wichtichste literatuerpriis fan de Feriene Steaten.
De priis wurdt sûnt 1950 alle jierren útrikt. Der binne op 't heden fjouwer kategoryen: fiksje, non-fiksje, lyryk en berneboek. Fierders wurde alle jierren twa prizen foar samle wurk ferjûn, de Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters en de Literarian Award for Outstanding Service to the American Literary Community.
De priis, fan $ 10.000, is allinne ornearre foar Amerikaanske steatsboargers; it wurk moat yn it Ingelsk skreaun wêze en yn de Feriene Steaten útjûn wêze.
