The Orwell Prize is the pre-eminent British prize for political writing.
Four prizes are awarded each year: one each for non-fiction and fiction (fiction first awarded in 2019), one for journalism show more and one for 'Exposing Britain's Social Evils' (established 2015); a fifth prize was awarded for blogging between 2009 and 2012. In each case, the winner is the short-listed entry which comes closest to George Orwell's own ambition to "make political writing into an art". (Wikipedia).
