Bessie Head Short Story Awards (Bessie Head Literature Awards from 2007-2013) is a Botswana literary award founded in 2007.[1] It is administered by the Bessie Head Heritage Trust. The Trust was established in June 2007 to promote the life and work of Bessie Head. The goal of the award is to help preserve Bessie Head's legacy in Botswana, and to encourage the development of Botswana literature in various genres in English. From 2007 to 2013 the awards were given for best novel, short story, poetry and children's story. The poetry and children's story awards were bi-annual, the novel and short story awards are annual. Beginning in 2015, the award focused changed to a short-story award. HistoryIn 2012, it was announced there would be no awards for the year. Reasons given include the withdraw of the financial sponsor Pentagon Publishers; and a lack of organization to handle the large number of submissions.[2] They announced "We intend to resume the Literature Awards as soon as .. possible, hopefully in 2013."[2] Winners
