The Frank O'Connor long list was published yesterday. This was first announced as a bi-annual 50k Euro prize for short story collections in 2005 when Cork was the city of culture. It's now moved to being an annual 35k Euro prize.

The award goes to the author of the book judged to be the best collection of stories published in English for the first time anywhere in the world in the twelve months between October of one year and September of the next. If a translated book wins, the purse is shared equally between the author and translator.

Perhaps the Youwriteon collection mentioned in the forums will be on the list next year?
