The organisers said: " After 50 Years of celebrating some of The Most enjoyable books written by hugely talented authors from across the UK and Ireland, Costa Coffee has taken the difficult decision to end the awards.
" We Are incredibly proud to have played a part in supporting some of The Best -selling authors of The Last 50 Years , as well as trail-blazing diverse and fresh voices, tackling a broad range of themes and ideas, " they added.
" We Are honoured to have helped both these new and established talents reach a wider audience of readers. "
