The Orwell Prize Ceremony 2018

The winners of the UK’s most prestigious awards for political writing are revealed, celebrating the best of this year’s books, journalism and innovative reporting on social issues. Each year, The Orwell Prize awards prizes for the writing and journalism which comes closest to George Orwell’s ambition ‘to make political writing into an art’. Prizes are awarded in three categories: for books, for journalism (commentary and reportage) and The Orwell Prize for Exposing Britain’s Social Evils, which rewards innovative reporting on social issues in the UK. This event was recorded live at The RSA on Monday 25th June 2018. Discover more about this event here: https://www.thersa.org/events/2018/06/the-orwell-prize-ceremony-2018
