JW3 are proud to present an evening celebrating the winner of the 47th Wingate Prize for Literature, a cornerstone of the International Jewish Literary landscape.
Join Emily Kasriel, Trustee of the Wingate Foundation, who will host an evening of conversation and celebration.
We will be hearing from authors and judges to discuss the themes and issues that have emerged from this year's prize. The 2024 judges are Benjamin Markovits, Natasha Solomons, Ashley Hickson Lovence and Rabba Lindsey Taylor-Guthartz.
Now in its 47th year, the annual prize, worth £4,000 and run in association with JW3, is awarded to the best book, fiction or non-fiction, to translate the idea of Jewishness to the general reader.
The Shortlist has been announced for the 2023/2024 Wingate Prize!
The judges of the Wingate Literary Prize 2023/2024 are delighted to announce their shortlist of six books, which collectively reflect the depths of Jewishness and Jewish life.
Among the two works of fiction and four non-fiction, the authors cover a diverse range of subjects, from chronic illness and photography, to the Cold War and cooking.
