We are delighted to announce that Prospect are the new sponsors of The Orwell Prize for Exposing Britain’s Social Evils. The announcement was made by Sir Clive Cowdery, Founder and Chairman of the Resolution Group and owner of Prospect, at the Orwell Prize ceremony last night. The prize, which will be next awarded in 2026, has been running successfully in previous years and has been instrumental in recognising powerful, public-interest journalism on domestic social issues.
“Prospect challenges the way we think about our world,” Sir Clive said. “And often that means exposing hard truths. Orwell’s legacy reminds us that social problems often arise through inaction, failed policy, or indifference. This prize celebrates journalism that refuses to look away.”
