Announcing: Man Asian Literary Prize (Literature/Novel)
-
From Literary Singapore newsletter:
A major new literary prize to recognise the work of Asian writers and to bring them to the attention of the world literary community was initiated through the joint efforts of Man Group plc and the Hong Kong International Literary Festival Ltd. Called the Man Asian Literary Prize, the award seeks entries from Asian writers for works that are yet to be published in English. Entries will be submitted in English, and the prize is intended to provide a broader platform for the cream of new Asian literature to be brought to the attention of English-reading audiences around the world.

Yep, the submission guidelines states that your draft must be at least 300,000 words. I thought I post here just in case someone here or passing through here happens to be working on something or has a draft can send in.
