National Book Award

De **National Book Award** (NBA) is mei de Pulitzerpriis de wichtichste literatuerpriis fan de Feriene Steaten. 

De priis wurdt sûnt 1950 alle jierren útrikt. Der binne op 't heden fjouwer kategoryen: fiksje, non-fiksje, lyryk en berneboek. Fierders wurde alle jierren twa prizen foar samle wurk ferjûn, de *Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters* en de *Literarian Award for Outstanding Service to the American Literary Community*.

De priis, fan $ 10.000, is allinne ornearre foar Amerikaanske steatsboargers; it wurk moat yn it Ingelsk skreaun wêze en yn de Feriene Steaten útjûn wêze.
