Comments: One of the most interesting things about the Clarke Award is that it honors works that are first published in the United Kingdom, regardless of the nationality of the author of the work. Many other "national" level awards are aimed at authors of a particular nationality. For example, the Ditmar Awards are only open to authors and other individuals who are from Australia. For the Clarke Award, the national origin of the author is unimportant, so in 2011 it could be won by South African author Lauren Beukes for her novel Zoo City.
