Il-kotba kollha ġew eżaminati għall-eliġibbiltà minn bord indipendenti tal-aġġudikazzjoni, u tqiegħdu fil-kategoriji rispettivi tagħhom. B’kollox kien hemm 161 sottomissjoni eliġibbli: 102 mqassmin fit-tmien kategoriji tal-Premju Nazzjonali tal-Ktieb għall-adulti, u 59 imqassmin fis-sitt kategoriji tal-Premju Terramaxka.

Fix-xhur li ġejjin il-membri tal-bord tal-aġġudikazzjoni se jkunu qed jaqraw is-sottomissjonijiet sabiex jagħżlu numru ta’ kotba bħala l-finalisti tal-Premju Nazzjonali tal-Ktieb u l-Premju Terramaxka. Il-lista tal-finalisti se tiġi ppubblikata f’Ġunju.

Ir-rebbieħa tal-Premju Nazzjonali tal-Ktieb għall-adulti u l-Premju Terramaxka għat-tfal u ż-żgħażagħ se jitħabbru flimkien waqt ċerimonja tal-għoti tal-premjijiet, li se ssir fl-24 ta’ Novembru 2023.
