Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award

The Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award is an annual award of 35,000 euros. The award is in memory of the late Frank O'Connor, one of the world's most renowned short story writers. The award is presented in O'Connor's hometown of Cork, Ireland. It is organised by the Munster Literature Centre and funded by Cork City Council.

The award goes to the author of the book judged to be the best collection of stories published in English for the first time anywhere in the world in the twelve months between October of one year and September of the next. If a translated book wins, the purse is shared equally between the author and translator.
