The Dengeki Novel Prize (電撃小説大賞 Dengeki Shōsetsu Taishō?) is a literary award handed out annually (since 1994) by the Japanese publisher ASCII Media Works (formally MediaWorks) for their Dengeki Bunko light novel label. The contest has discovered many popular and successful light novelists, like Kouhei Kadono and Yashichiro Takahashi. Originally called the Dengeki Game Novel Prize, the name was changed in 2003. The Dengeki Novel Prize consists of the Grand Prize (one million yen), the Gold Prize (five hundred thousand yen), and the Silver Prize (three hundred thousand yen). There is also an illustration division. There are over two-thousand submissions annually, and it is considered the largest prize for light novels.[1]
