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’. They are free to enter and independent of editorial agenda.
The Orwell Prizes are running to schedule. Entry to the 2020 Orwell Prizes is now closed.
