The Orwell Prizes 2023
Every year the Orwell Foundation awards prizes to the writing and reporting which best meets the spirit of George Orwell's own ambition 'to make political writing into an art'.
There are currently five Orwell Prizes, each worth £3000 to the winner: two prizes for books (for Political Writing and for Political Fiction) and three prizes for journalism (for Journalism, for Exposing Britain's Social Evils and for Reporting Homelessness).
Finalists for all the Orwell Prizes are invited to the Orwell Festival - a series of public events to discuss the most important and exciting political thinking and writing today. The next Orwell Festival will take place in June 2023.
