The Orwell Prize moves to UCL

Prestigious political writing award The Orwell Prize has moved to the UCL Institute of Advanced Studies. UCL is already home to the Orwell Archive, part of UCL Special Collections. The archive is the most comprehensive body of research material relating to George Orwell anywhere. Professor Tamar Garb, Director of the UCL Institute of Advanced Studies, said: 'The Orwell Prize's move to UCL is as logical as it is exciting. UCL has been home to the Archive since 1960 - it was deposited at UCL on permanent loan by his widow, ten years after Orwell's death from tuberculosis at University College Hospital - and has hosted the Orwell Lecture since 2013. 'Now, the Orwell Prize will be based at UCL's Institute of Advanced Studies. The Orwell Prize is a natural fit within our commitment to critical thinking across conventional disciplinary boundaries.
