Dagger Award

The Dagger Award is an award for crime fiction in the UK . It has been awarded in a varying number of categories by the British Crime Writers' Association (CWA) since 1955 . Dagger is the English word for a classic murder weapon, the dagger .

The CWA currently awards eleven z. Some of the awards are sponsored by sponsors . Between 2006 and 2008 the British private bank Duncan Lawrie private bankers was the main sponsor of the British Crime Writers' Association ; as a result, the Gold Dagger was renamed in favor of the sponsor in Duncan Lawrie Dagger and briefly the highest endowed crime prize in the world with £ 20,000. The global financial crisis forced the sponsor to withdraw. The endowment of the (re-established) CWA Gold Dagger dropped to £ 2,500 at the 2009 awards ceremony. Prize money for other categories also fell significantly, and the name changes made in 2006 in favor of the sponsor were reversed. Thanks to a new sponsor, the award has been called Goldsboro Gold Dagger since 2013 . An award for the second best detective novel of the year - Silver Dagger - has not been awarded since 2006.

Since 2006, the CWA has also presented an award for the best international crime novel translated into English (initially Duncan Lawrie International Dagger , since 2009 CWA International Dagger ). The former John Creasey Memorial Dagger operated under the name New Blood Dagger from 2006 to 2008 , and has been published as John Creasey (New Blood) Dagger since 2009 with the withdrawal of Duncan Lawrie private bankers .

The award for the best historical crime novel, the Ellis Peters Historical Dagger , has been called the Ellis Peters Historical Award since 2006 and has been called the CWA Endeavor Historical Dagger since 2014 due to a change of sponsor . With the Publishers' Award , the CWA 2019 brings a new distinction after more than 10 years; this time for publishers who have made a name for themselves through excellent and diverse publications of crime literature.

Best English-language detective novel - Gold Dagger

The oldest award, named Gold Dagger since 1955 - the award for the best English-language novel - of the British Crime Writers' Association (CWA) has changed its official name several times over the decades. As a rule, it was sponsors who provided financial support for a limited period of time and whose names were included in the title of the award. From 2006 to 2008, sponsor Duncun Lawrie private bankers made the prize briefly the world's most endowed crime prize at £ 20,000. As of 2009, the winner has received £ 2,500.

After their withdrawal, the name changed to John Creasey (New Blood) Dagger in 2009 . The prize pool is £ 1,000. In 1993 and 1996 there was no award.

Best Historical Detective Novel - CWA Historical Dagger (Ellis Peters Historical Award)

As the Ellis Peters Historical Award (until 2005: Ellis Peters Historical Dagger ), the award has been given since 1999 by the British Crime Writers' Association (CWA) "for novels with a criminal background and a subject matter from the period before 1960" . The award was financed from the estate of the writer and namesake Ellis Peters (* 1913 - † 1995, pseudonym of Edith Mary Pargeter ) and the sponsorship of her publishers Headline Book Publishing Group and Little, Brown Book Group . The prize money was £ 3,000. With the awarding of the award in 2014 a new sponsor was found: The London e-book publisher Endeavor Press will support the CWA in the future with the award of historical crime literature. In recognition of this commitment, the CWA renames the Ellis Peters Historical Award after 15 years as the CWA Endeavor Historical Dagger . Sapere Books Ltd., London has been sponsoring the historic Dagger since 2019 ; hence it is now called CWA Sapere Books Historical Dagger .

To compensate, the Gold Dagger was also awarded for foreign, English-language original titles - in 1973 for the first time to the American Robert Littell for his novel The Defection of AJ Lewinter . It was not until 28 years later that the CWA awarded Henning Mankell for the first time to a foreign, foreign-language author with the Gold Dagger .

Most humorous detective novel - Last Laugh Dagger (Punch Award)

With the Last Laugh Dagger (given in the first year under the name The Punch Award ), the British Crime Writers' Association (CWA) honored the most humorous English-language crime novel from 1988 to 1996. There was no sponsor for this award. The small selection and the supposed contradiction between “detective novel” and “humor” led to the premature end of the award.
