How to apply

The Caine Prize for African Writing is an annual literary award established to recognise and promote short fiction by African writers.

Named after Sir Michael Caine, a former chairman of Booker plc whose company supported the early years of African literary recognition, the prize was created to draw international attention to the breadth, formal daring, and craft of contemporary African short stories.
