Orange Prize

The Orange Prize, now called the Women’s Prize for Fiction, is a UK-based literary award established in 1996 to celebrate excellence in writing by women authors. Each year, a panel of judges selects the best full-length novels written by women, regardless of nationality or genre. The prize aims to recognize outstanding storytelling and bring attention to women’s contributions to literature. It has helped highlight diverse voices and promote gender equality in the literary world. The winner receives a monetary award and increased recognition, supporting the author’s career and inspiring future writers.
