Following the announcement of the longlist of the Wales Book of the Year 2010, we've got a brand new photo gallery of images taken on the night of the event in Bangor.

Kindly provided by Academi, the Welsh literature agency that administers the annual prize with funding from the Arts Council of Wales, the photographs capture the judges, longlisted authors and guests that attended the launch of this year's prize.

Browse the gallery and find out more about the prize and who made it onto the longlist.
