The Orwell Prizes 2020
The Orwell Prizes aim to encourage good writing and thinking about politics. Winning entries should strive to meet Orwell’s own ambition ‘to make political writing into an art’. All the Prizes are free to open and independent of any editorial agenda. Entry to the 2020 Orwell Prizes is now closed and entries are with the judges. Longlists will be revealed in the week commencing 6th April, shortlists in mid-May and the winners at a special ceremony on 25th June 2020. The timer on the right counts us down to the next landmark in the Prize cycle.
