Vav Literary Award

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Vav Literary Award (Persian: جایزه ادبی واو) is an Iranian literary award given annually since 2003 to Persian novels published in Iran. It is an independent award and honors two novels with the most different narrative and structure. The president of the award has been Faeze Seyed Shakeri from 2003.[1] The award has three categories, "Best Novel", "The Novel Worth Honoring" and "Best Publisher". The first award went to Mahmoud Dowlatabadi for Solook (Persian: سُلوک), but he gave his award to the second winner.[2]
