The Edgar Allan Poe Awards, more commonly known as The Edgar Awards or the Edgars, were named in honor of the legendary writer Edgar Allan Poe.
The Edgars are presented annually by the Mystery Writers of America (MWA) since 1946. Recognizing the best in mystery fiction, non-fiction, television, and film, the Edgar Awards have become an esteemed hallmark of excellence in the mystery genre.
The inception of the Edgar Awards can be traced back to the formation of the Mystery Writers of America in 1945, a professional organization aimed at promoting and celebrating mystery and crime writing. The MWA decided to establish an annual award to recognize outstanding works in the genre and thus, the Edgar Awards were born.
The first ceremony took place in 1946, with the inaugural award for Best First Novel by an American Author presented to Watchful at Night by Julian Fast.
In the 1950s, they expanded these awards to include Best Mystery Novel and Best First Novel. The first winner of the Best Mystery Novel award in 1954 was Charlotte Jay for Beat Not the Bones.
Here is a list of every single nomination and award for fiction novels for the Edgars since they began, and some non-fiction as well:

Over the years, the Edgar Awards have evolved to include various categories, reflecting the diverse aspects of the mystery genre. The awards now encompass novels within various categories, non-fiction and biographical awards, and short stories.
– We still need to complete Best Fact Crime.
– We still need to complete Best Critical/Biographical Work.
– We still need to complete Best Short Story.
– We still need to complete Best Juvenile.
– We still need to complete Best Young Adult.
Those are the current award categories. There have been other awards that are either discontinued or awarded without consistency, such as the Best Play, best Radio Drama and best Mystery Criticism award.
