Welcome to the 2026 Crime Fiction Lover Awards. Please nominate your favourites across our six categories.
Once closed we'll compile the shortlists based on your nominations. Nominations will close at noon, UK time, on Wednesday 4 November.
The book or crime TV show you nominate must have been released between 1 November 2025 and 31 October 2026. The author you nominate must have published a new crime novel in that period. With that in mind, please make sure your nominations are relevant. Entries in the wrong categories will be disqualified.
You don't have to nominate for every award. If you haven't read a translated novel, for instance, no problem, just move on to the next section. Please be honest and don't nominate books you haven't read or shows you haven't watched.
Based on your nominations, we'll set the shortlists for each of the categories and invite you back to vote. Watch our website and our X and Facebook accounts for updates.
