Winners [edit]
History [edit]
Commonwealth Writers' Prize was a literary award established in 1987 by the Commonwealth Foundation. It awarded prizes for established and new writers across the Commonwealth. In 2011 the Commonwealth Writers' Prize (and Commonwealth Short Story Competition) was re-launched under the new name Commonwealth Writers - a world of new fiction with two new prizes, Commonwealth Book Prize and Commonwealth Short Story Prize.
Each year, prizes for Best Book (1987–2011) and Best First Book (1989–2011) were awarded in four regions: Africa, Caribbean and Canada, South Asia and Europe and South East Asia and Pacific. Eight regional winners then competed for the pan-Commonwealth Best Book and Best First Book prizes, awarded at a public programme held in a different Commonwealth country each year. In addition there was a Commonwealth Short Story Competition (1996–2011).
