The Orange Prize for Fiction

The Orange Prize for Fiction is an annual literary award for a single novel written by a woman and published in Britain between April 1 and March 31 of the year the prize is awarded. The Orange Prize aims to celebrate novels of excellence, originality and accessibility, and to promote women writers to as wide a range of male and female readers as possible. The annual prize money of £30,000, along with a bronze figurine created by Grizel Niven known as the "Bessie", are anonymously endowed.
