Subject: USA Africa Dialogue Series - The Caine Prize 2014 - open for entries (31-1-2014)
"NoViolet Bulawayo, winner of the Caine Prize <http://www.caineprize.com/> in 2011, has become the first black African woman ever to be shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize <http://www.themanbookerprize.com/people/noviolet-bulawayo> . Her shortlisted novel, 'We Need New Names', opens with the short story 'Hitting Budapest,' that won her the Caine Prize in 2011. It has shown once more the power African literature can have on a world stage and the importance of promoting African writers to a wide audience.
Applications for the 2014 Caine Prize are now open - we are looking for the next NoViolet Bulawayo! For the first time the Caine Prize will award £500 to each shortlisted writer. Dr Lizzy Attree, the Prize's Administrator stated that "this latest development reflects the Caine Prize's commitment to recognising the skills and artistry required to produce great fiction and rewarding writers appropriately for their work." Every shortlisted story is also published in the annual Caine Prize anthology alongside twelve stories written at the annual workshop held in Africa."
