本文透過文學社會學的研究方法，旨在探討大專校園文學獎的獎項類型，同時討論大專校園文學獎在文學場中的位置。就類型論，研究主要發現臺灣僅四成大專院校有常設的文學獎，且多半倚賴校內教師擔任評審，獎項以散文、新詩與小說為主。就大專校園文學獎在文學場中的位置論，傳統作家曾得過文學獎者四成四，網路文學作家也不遑多讓，也高達五成六者，不過大專校園文學獎的得獎資歷在得過文學獎的792位傳統作家中，填寫獲得校園學生文學獎者佔2.1%，此一偏低的數據顯示出學生文學獎的資歷並不受到太大的重視，相形之下，正在文學場域邊緣的網路作家就比較重視校園文學獎，曾獲校園學生文學獎的網路作家，占60位曾經獲得過文學獎作家的41.1%，是所有文學獎類型中比例最高者，顯示青年作家較為珍視大專文學獎資歷。

Based on methodology of literary sociology, the aim of this article is to analyze types of literary awards in colleges and position in literary field. With analytic focus on types, the major findings include three aspects: First, only 40% of colleges conduct literary awards regularly; Second, most colleges conduct with insider judges; Third, the major prizes are on prose, poetry and novel. As to the position of academic literary awards in the literary field, 44% of traditional writers have received the literary awards, and the percentage of internet writers are nearly equal, which would be more than 56% of laureates, but only 2.1% of 729 traditional writers who had received the academic literary award record it on their prize-receiving experiences. The underrepresented statistics imply that people pay little importance to pupillary literary awards, by contrast, internet writers who are now on the fringe of literary field would take pupillary literary awards more seriously; moreover, among 60 internet writers who have received the literary awards, there are 41.1% of them were laureates of pupillary literary award, and this fact becomes the highest rate among all the types of literary awards, and it also represents the implication that the young writers value the experience of receiving academic literary awards more higher than others do.
