TunisiaEBRD Literature Prize 2024: Lebanese and Moroccan writers shortlisted
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) is delighted to announce the shortlist for this year’s EBRD Literature Prize.
The compelling novels and short stories are by writers from Croatia, the Czech Republic, Greece, Hungary, Lebanon, Morocco, Romania, Türkiye and Ukraine, representing several of the Bank’s countries and regions of operation. The works were chosen by three independent judges: award-winning writer and critic, Maya Jaggi (chair); novelist and translator, Maureen Freely; and author and professor of international law, Philippe Sands.
The EBRD Literature Prize is part of the Bank’s Community Initiative, which engages the institution and its staff in philanthropic, social and cultural activities in areas where the Bank invests. Three finalists for the Prize will be announced in late April and the winning author and two runners-up, along with their translators, will be declared on 13 June at an awards ceremony and reception at the EBRD’s headquarters in London.
