Dayton Literary Peace Prize

The Dayton Literary Peace Prize is an annual United States literary award "recognizing the power of the written word to promote peace" that was first awarded in 2006.[http://www.daytonliterarypeaceprize.org/award.htm Dayton Literary Peace Prize - About the Award] Awards are given for adult fiction and non-fiction books published at some point within the immediate past year that have led readers to a better understanding of other peoples, cultures, religions, and political views, with the winner in each category receiving a cash prize of $10,000. The award is an offshoot of the Dayton Peace Prize, which grew out of the 1995 peace accords ending the Bosnian War.[http://www.usatoday.com/life/books/news/2006-07-19-terkel_x.htm Studs Terkel to receive first Dayton literary prize] In 2011, the former "Lifetime Achievement Award" was renamed the Richard C.
