The Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award—named in honour of Frank O'Connor, who devoted much of his work to the form—was an international literary award presented for the best short story collection. It was presented between 2005 and 2015.[1] The prize amount, {{as of|2012|lc=yes}} as {{currency|25,000|EU}}, making it one of the richest short-story collection prizes in the world (see also Premio de Narrativa Breve Ribera del Duero).[2] Each year, roughly sixty books were longlisted, with either four or six books shortlisted, the ultimate decision made by three judges.

History

In 2000, the Cork, Ireland Munster Literature Centre organised the first Frank O'Connor International Short Story Festival,[3] an event dedicated to the celebration of the short story and named for Cork writer Frank O'Connor. The festival showcases readings, literary forums and workshops. Following continued growth and additional funding, the Cork City – Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award was introduced in 2005,[3] coinciding with Cork's designation as that year's European Capital of Culture.

In 2008 there was no shortlist, as the judges considered the winning book, Unaccustomed Earth by Jhumpa Lahiri, as being superior to other books on the longlist.[4]

The award was discontinued in 2016.[1]
