The text offers a personal commentary on the state of literary awards in Serbia. It consists of three segments. The first one deliberates on a general cultural/political context of the phenomenon of literary awards. The second one considers the media status, promotion and misuse of literary awards for commercial purposes. The third fragment briefly questions the manner of forming literary award juries and points to two key problems: selection of jury members and lack of transparency in their work.
