The Neustadt International Prize for Literature is widely considered the most prestigious international literary prize after the Nobel. The $40,000 prize is conferred every two years by the University of Oklahoma (USA) and its international journal, World Literature Today. Established in 1969 as the Books Abroad International Prize for Literature, then renamed the Books Abroad / Neustadt Prize in 1972 before assuming its present name in 1976, the Neustadt Prize is the first international literary award of this scope to originate in the United States and is one of the very few international prizes for which poets, novelists, and playwrights are equally eligible.
