[1] Though its name is similar to the Edgar Allan Poe Awards, which has been presented by Mystery Writers of America, the Edogawa Rampo Prize is not a counterpart of the Edgar Awards.
The Edogawa Rampo Prize is an award for unpublished mystery novels.
The members of the 2014 selection committee were Natsuo Kirino, Natsuhiko Kyogoku, Ira Ishida, Alice Arisugawa (ja) and Bin Konno (ja), who is the current president of the Mystery Writers of Japan.
On the Prize's 70th year in 2024, the awardees are: Yukakujima Shinju Gatari by Ryu Shimotsuki and Fake Muscle by Eitaro Hino.
They were recognized as best among a total of 395 submissions, and they will each receive a statue of Edogawa Rampo plus 2,500,000 yen as prizes.
