About the Swansea University Dylan Thomas Prize
Every winning, shortlisted and longlisted book for the Swansea University Dylan Thomas Prize (Dylan Thomas Prize 2006-2013, International Dylan Thomas Prize 2014-2019), listed once at its highest level. Year is the award year the prize uses; it ran biennially in 2006 and 2008, then 2010-2014 and 2016 onward, with no prize in 2007, 2009 or 2015. Category is Literature because the prize mixes novels, stories and poetry. 2016-2025 from the official swansea.ac.uk archive and previous-winners pages (2014 and 2013 shortlists from the 2013-2016 archive page). Fallbacks where official pages are gone: 2006 shortlist and longlist from archive.org snapshots of dylanthomasprize.com; 2008 and 2010 shortlists from The Guardian; 2011 from BBC News; 2012 from Wikipedia; Jemma King's 2013 shortlisting from BBC News (the official page lists six of the seven). Longlists before 2016 (except 2006) are not covered. 2006 counts Nick Laird's two shortlisted books separately. The 2014 shortlist omits Owen Sheers' Mametz, a stage production rather than a book.
