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’. The Prizes are running (almost) to schedule. The shortlists were announced on 21st May, and the winners will be revealed on Thursday 9th July 2020. The timer on the right counts us down to the next landmark in the cycle, while below you can find out more about this year's lists.
