Well done to all the finalists - think we had about 125 entries altogether- so to make it this far is amazing. I have thoroughly enjoyed judging these awards, along with my fellow judges.. These 9 finalists are truly an inspiration to us all.

As a judge for the Orwell Prize for Political Writing, I've hugely enjoyed reading and discussing dozens of books. We now have the finalists. Lots of history, lots of war. As Kim Darroch, Chair of Judges, says: 'These books show us how we got here.'📚👇 orwellfoundation.com/the-orwell-pri…

Our Director, Jean Seaton, writes: "We are very sad to hear of the death of Andrew Norfolk. His investigation into Rotherham grooming gangs helped change the legal landscape around young women at risk. He was a worthy winner of the Orwell Prize." bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

In 1947, Orwell argued that only a "United States of Europe" could survive a nuclear age. Now, Europe is at another crossroads. Join Katja Hoyer, Matthew Longo & Colin Crouch at Pushkin House as we explore where Europe's been, and where it might go next: pushkinhouse.org/whats-on/event…

Please take a look at this Kickstarter campaign from Orwell Prize finalist Craig Easton. 👇 "An Extremely Un-get-atable Place" is a photographic re-imagining of Orwell's time in the remote farmhouse in the Hebrides, on the Isle of Jura, where he finished his final masterpiece.
