Crowd-sourcing Help Identifying Awards

Hi all,
I just spent today going through the first 1,000 of our awards records and adding organizations to any that were missing them. At this point, I've got a short list of items I can't make heads or tails of. Can anyone identify the sources of any of these awards and honors and specify the organization that would have issued any of them, or provide any links for further information? Thanks!

>2 Nevov: Good call. Thanks, combined.

Looduse kroonine romaan was not an award but rather the name of a collection of novels printed by publisher Loodus during the 30s, similar to for example the Penguin Classics series and such

I Migliori Libri del '900, Bücher des Jahrhunderts, Die Romane des Jahrhunderts all sound like lists from random websites or magazine articles, too generic to track down.

Sounds as though the Prix Westminster might be either a mistake in Wikipedia or something that was awarded once and then discontinued. I can only find it mentioned in relation to the Kate Atkinson book.

>5 shimmermarie: Thanks, added that Estonian publisher series. Also added the Penguin Books title that was missing to that series (and added series name variant "Penguin Main Series" based on a specialist bookseller's designation). Also whacked El Pais Serie Negra, which was the same situation and already entered as a publisher series. So those are taken care of. And someone deleted "Im November," which looks just about right to me.

>6 thorold: Thanks for the research. I hit the same wall on Prix Westminster. Maybe someone with good database access might have more ideas.

I've also tracked down plenty of generic lists, but these particular ones are proving elusive!

The Bacchelli prize seems to have been another flash-in-the-pan:

https://perival.com/delillo/ddawards.html

2000 - "Riccardo Bacchelli" International Award for Underworld

The "Riccardo Bacchelli" International Award is a newly established biennial award, and "is awarded to an Italian or foreigner novel by a living author, published in the last five years and already translated into Italian language." The award was given for Underworld on December 16, 2000 in Bologna, Italy and DeLillo attended in person. The award is given "in the name of Riccardo Bacchelli, the eclectic and brilliant Bolognese intellectual, well-known in all Europe, who travelled through every literary territory in his life, from the novel to poetry, theatre, literary and musical criticism, journalism and the historical essay."

It appears that this award was not given out in subsequent years.

>8 thorold: Now, if I could just figure out what organization awarded it :-p

>9 davidgn: Gee, thanks Google AI. https://magazine.unibo.it/it/articoli/frank-mccourt-vince-il-premio-riccardo-bac...
Done.

FWIW, it appears that it was given out again, at least in 2002. But probing that further is out of scope.

Anyone have any idea what happened here? https://www.librarything.com/award/7009/O-Henry-Award
The entries do not seem to align with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O._Henry_Award

Okay, been through the whole stack now. I'll be posting the remaining unidentified.

There we go. There's everything. Otherwise, everything has an org now, and the orgs have countries assigned, making this page actually representative: https://www.librarything.com/award/organizations?mode=countries

There's also the question of what to do with https://www.librarything.com/award/4154/Imprimatur-Nihil-Obstat -- which is now the only "award" with an organization that doesn't have a country assigned. Seems to have been an open issue since primordial times. https://www.librarything.com/topic/116759

That was a rough three weeks. Lots of work left to do, but as far as I'm concerned, with the above exceptions, the awards system can now finally be considered fully migrated to Awards 2.0 (at least to the extent it's currently implemented).

I'd also remark that the duplicate awards should now be almost fully combined, so that number of awards, orgs, etc. would now be meaningful Zeitgeist numbers.

>13 davidgn: an organization that doesn't have a country assigned

Vatican City State is a sovereign political entity geographically interior to Italy. So ... ?

>15 paradoxosalpha: Good point.

Nordens bästa kriminalroman = https://www.librarything.com/award/537/Glass-Key-Award
Author of the Year Award, Sweden = https://www.librarything.com/award/4793/SKTF-s-pris-%C3%A5rets-f%C3%B6rfattare . Pretty sure that the "Book of the Year Award, Sweden" also refers to this award.

>17 anglemark: Thanks. Got 'em. And someone got the Mencken award.

The only thing I can find for the Prix du Grand Public seems to be a passing mention of this book winning it in Wikipedia.
But I can't find any other winner list for the Paris Book Fair or similar.

Also, looking at edit histories, it seems that Summer Reading and Blue Ribbon Book where I'm attached simply came from me cleaning up formats. I didn't enter the initial award and don't know where it came from.

>13 davidgn:
I am wondering if this one:
https://www.librarything.com/award/3210 Best Scottish Books of the 21st Century

might be from 'The List' magazine:
https://www.librarything.com/award/organization/9748/The-List
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_List_(magazine)

but their archive site seems to be down. I'll have a bit of a trawl around and see if I can find anything.

The Albert Schweitzer prize seems to have been better known as the Albert Schweitzer Literary Award and might be better renamed to avoid confusion with The Albert Schweitzer Prize for Humanitarianism.

In any case it was awarded by the German Kindler publishing house.
https://www.maryevans.com/contributors/key/albert-schweitzer-book-prize-philip-n...
There are very few references to it online but I did find some other winners.

>21 tallpaul: Set the org name to Kindler-Verlag, but your link doesn't work.

>20 Nevov:. Thanks. I've provisionally identified it as being by "The List," considering that it includes "The List" in the category text. Paging @bergs47 -- this is one of yours. Do you concur?

>6 thorold: Narrowed down the Westminster thanks to Grok using prompt "Case Histories by Kate Atkinson awarded Prix Westminster du Roman Anglais by what org." That was some damn fine auto-sleuthing. Don't want to give them my money, though, so I keep hitting limits with the free tool.

ETA: Knocked out a few more with Grok's help, but hit my limit again. Others are encouraged to try similarly at grok.com (always making sure to verify the answer and that it is not hallucinated!). And no, Grok was not my first choice, but Gemini and (free) Perplexity have already both struck out on many of these.

Here's the cleaned-up list after my latest pass. I'm not sure we're going to get any better than this.
