The AKO Caine Prize for African Writing is a registered charity whose aim is to bring African writing to a wider audience using our annual literary award. In addition to administering the Prize, we work to connect readers with African writers through a series of public events, as well as helping emerging writers in Africa to enter the world of mainstream publishing through the annual Caine Prize writers’ workshop which takes place in a different African country each year.
Eligiblity:
Unpublished work is not eligible for the Caine Prize. Submissions should be made by publishers only. Only fictional work is eligible. Only one story per author will be considered in any one year. Submissions should specify which African country the author comes from and the word count. We require 6 copies of the work in its originally published version. If the work is published in a book or journal, we would like to receive at least one copy of the book / journal and five photocopies; but particularly where several stories are submitted from one anthology we would like if possible to receive six copies of the book / journal itself. If the work is published online, we would like to receive six photocopies.

Deadline:
The deadline for the next prize is 31 January 2020 and the award is made in July each year. Works received after the 31st January will be put forward to the next year's prize. The short-list is selected from work originally published in the five years preceding the submissions deadline and not previously considered for a Caine Prize. In general it is unwise to delay the submission of entries until shortly before the deadline: postal and delivery hiccups can easily result in material arriving too late.Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, there may be alterations to the usual dates and process of submissions, please keep an eye on our website and social media channels for updates
