Geoffrey Faber Memorial Prize

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Geoffrey Faber Memorial Prize is a British literary prize that has been awarded since 1963 in honor of Geoffrey Faber , the founder and first chairman of the British publishing house Faber & Faber .

Works by authors under the age of 40 from the United Kingdom , the Commonwealth of Nations , Ireland and South Africa are eligible for the award ceremony . The prize is awarded annually in early winter, retrospectively for the previous year, alternately to volumes of poetry (in even years) and prose works (in uneven years). The prize, worth £ 1500 (2017), goes to the work in verse or prose that was first published in the UK in the two years before the award ceremony and which the jury considers to be the best literary achievement.

The jury, which consists of three critics, is nominated by editors or editors from various journals and magazines, who regularly discuss verse and prose works.
