The Climate Fiction Prize is a new literary award that will celebrate the the power of storytelling in tackling the climate crisis. Through great stories, readers can fully grasp the climate change threat and start embracing its solutions. Because it’s not enough for us just to *know* about climate change; we need to see ourselves in an uncertain future and understand that change is urgent, but possible. Launched at the Hay Festival in June 2024, the £10,000 prize will first be awarded to a single novel published in the UK, in May 2025. Join us in the first year of this bold new initiative; a chance to champion exceptional climate fiction and become part of a large-scale national campaign.
