The Naoki Prize, named for novelist Naoki Sanjugo, seeks to recognize the best works of popular fiction by rising authors. The award is presented by the Society for the Promotion of Japanese Literature, and selections are made by a committee of former winners semiannually. Sometimes the committee decides on two honorees, and sometimes no prize is awarded. For more, including committee members' individual ratings and all winners going back to 1935, see the award's official website (in Japanese).
