Waverton Good Read Award

Waverton Good Read Award

The Waverton Good Read Award was founded in 2003 by villagers in Waverton, Cheshire based on "Le Prix de la Cadière d'Azur", a literary prize awarded by a Provençal village. First adult novels written by UK residents and published in the previous twelve months are eligible for consideration and are read by villagers. "The aim was not only to stimulate reading in the village but to provide encouragement to British writers".

It is the first British award to be judged by normal readers rather than literary figures.
