Wales' book of the year shortlist for 2025 highlights the nation's "incredible talent, expertise, knowledge, and craft", according to one of the judges.
The competition includes poetry, fiction, creative non-fiction, and children and young people categories in both English and Welsh.
Author and Children's Laureate Wales, Eloise Williams, said the shortlist showed it was "an exciting time to be a Welsh writer sending words from Wales to the world".
The winners will be announced at an awards ceremony in July.
