Orwell Prize Political Writing Finalists 2025

The Orwell Prizes aim to encourage good writing and thinking about politics. The winning entries should strive to meet Orwell’s own ambition ‘to make political writing into an art’. They should be of equal excellence in style and content – the writing must be both political and artful. https://www.orwellfoundation.com/ There are two prizes : Political Writing Book Prize 2025 Finalists and Political Fiction Book Prize 2025 Finalists
