The nominees for the August Prize 2025 have been announced, featuring themes like dogs, death, and ketchup among the entries. The authors include both debutants and veterans, such as previous winners Lydia Sandgren and Lina Wolff. Six books in each category—fiction, non-fiction, and children's and youth literature—are competing for the prize.
The 2025 August Gala at Dramaten in Stockholm made history as Bea Uusma and Lina Wolff each won the prize for the second time. Uusma was awarded for the non-fiction book "Vitön", while Wolff won in the fiction category with "Liken vi begravde". Fabian Göranson received the prize for the best children's and young adult book with "Klara – Tvättbjörnarnas stad".
