National Book Foundation's 5 Under 35
The National Book Foundation's 5 Under 35 prize, established in 2006, is an annual honor presented by the National Book Foundation to five authors under the age of 35 who released their debut novel in the previous five years. Honorees are nominated by authors who were previously honored with a National Book Award or 5 Under 35 nomination. Honorees receive a $1,250 prize.
