A panel of authors and publishing specialists will assess plot, originality, creativity and writing quality. The winner will be announced in Milan on 9 January 2027 during IndieVerse and will receive €10,000 plus the opportunity for an Audible audio edition. The other four finalists will each receive a Kindle Scribe.
