新世紀全國文學評獎呈多元化發展格局,少數民族文學評獎的態勢是政府獎和民間獎並立,國家級獎項的規模正在縮減,地方級獎項和民間獎的數量正在增加。少數民族文學評獎的外部影響因素是,市場力量和評獎機構的特殊導向。少數民族文學評獎的內部評價標準是,從多角度審視民族文化的轉型,反映少數民族新生的精神姿態。未來少數民族文學評獎的發展方向應該是:提高獎項的藝術水準,體現獎項特色,調整獎項設置,拓展獎項的社會影響力。

National literary awards present diversified development trend in the new century. Minority literature awards include both government awards and folk awards. The number of national awards is shrinking,while the amount of local awards and folk awards are increasing. The external influence factors of minority literature awards are market force and special orientation of award units. The internal evaluation standards of minority literature awards are aimed at examining the transformation of ethnic culture from multiple angles and reflecting the new spirit and attitude of ethnic minorities. In the future development of minority literature awards,the artistic level of works should be improved, award characteristics should be fully reflected,the setting of awards should be readjusted and social influence of the awards should be expanded.
