Hawthornden Prize

British literary award

The Hawthornden Prize, one of Britain's oldest literary awards, was established in 1919 by Alice Warrender.[1] This £15,000 prize is awarded annually to a British, Irish or British-based author for a work of "imaginative literature" – including poetry, novels, history, biography and creative non-fiction – published in the previous calendar year. The prize is for a book in English, not for a translation. Previous winners of the prize are excluded from the shortlist. Unlike other major literary awards, the Hawthornden Prize does not solicit submissions.[2] There have been several gap years without a recipient (1945–57, 1959, 1966, 1971–73, and 1984–87).[3]
