International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award
The International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award ((アイルランド語:Duais Liteartha Idirnáisiúnta Bhaile Átha Chliath)) is an international literary award for a work of fiction, solely sponsored by the city of Dublin, Ireland. At €100,000 it is one of the richest literary prizes in the world. Nominations are submitted by public libraries worldwide.
==Award==
The Award was established in 1994〔 as a joint initiative of Dublin City Council and the American productivity company IMPAC, which had its European headquarters in Dublin. James Irwin, president of IMPAC established the prize money at €100,000. A trust fund was established to pay for the award and its maintenance.The Award has been administered by Dublin City Public Libraries since its inception. IMPAC went defunct in the late-2000s when its founder and president James Irwin died in 2009.〔 In late 2013, the trust fund became exhausted and there was no money left to run the Award.〔 Dublin City Council agreed to step in and continue funding the Award under the same brand name of the now-defunct company while seeking a new sponsor. It was reported in 2015 that Dublin City Council paid in 2015 €100,000 for the prize plus €80,250 in administration costs.〔
Describing the Award as "the most eclectic and unpredictable of the literary world's annual gongs", Michelle Pauli posed the question in relation to the longlist for the 2004 edition, "Where would you find Michael Dobbs and Tony Parsons up against Umberto Eco and Milan Kundera for a €100,000 prize?"
