I have deleted the Manchester Book Award as not notable here because our article/list shows about 30 annual "longlist" titles (6 shortlist, 1 winner).
The Hampshire Book Award may be notable here for we show 6 annual shortlist titles. We have no reference for shortlist data. Our award article gives dead External link to one old press release; perhaps annual PR have been our sources there.
The Carnegie Medal highly commended runner up (abandoned after 2002) was about annual and Swindell's 1984 "HC" was unique. --as explained in the Note. -- P64 ( talk) 20:20, 24 November 2012 (UTC)
