I know there was discussion when choosing categories that these should be "major" awards, but that wasn't what was finalized. Just looking at the " American Literary Awards" there are 227 different awards that would have qualified and the list isn't intended to be exhaustive - just those that have separate wiki pages. If I hadn't been so busy at work this week I would have tried to find a couple even more obscure ones and nominated something from them. Maybe a good "splatterpunk" award or something. I seem to remember some "interest" in that category.

I think making it any prize makes it more open to interesting options. I was late to the nomination party and would have looked for something from a poetry prize.
Or you could go to the obscure like the
Diagram prize and something like
The Stray Shopping Carts of Eastern North America: A Guide to Field Identification. Anyone looking for a gift for me could get me a copy of that one. I would very much appreciate it.
