The Gaelic Literature Awards

The Gaelic Literature Awards (Scottish Gaelic: Na Duaisean Litreachais) are annual awards for excellence in Scottish Gaelic writing and publishing. The Awards are bestowed by the Gaelic Books Council (Comhairle nan Leabhraichean) and are part‑funded by Bòrd na Gàidhlig, Creative Scotland and various sponsors, including the Highland Society of London and previously the Scottish Poetry Library.^[1]

The Awards began in 2020, succeeding The Donald Meek Award (Scottish Gaelic: Duais Dhòmhnaill Meek)^[2]. In 2020 and 2021, the Awards took place online^[3]^[4] because of government restrictions due to the Covid-19 pandemic, but since 2022 the Awards have been held at Cottiers Theatre, Glasgow^[5].

Prizes are awarded for Scottish Gaelic literary works in six categories:

Poetry – The Derick Thomson Prize
Fiction – The Highland Society of London Prize
Non-fiction – The Donald Meek Award
Children/young people
Unpublished manuscripts for adults
Unpublished manuscripts for children/young people

A cash prize is awarded to the winning authors and publishers.^[6]
