The European Union Prize for Literature (EUPL) is an annual initiative launched in 2009 that recognises the best emerging fiction writers in Europe. Its aim is to spotlight the creativity and diverse wealth of Europe's contemporary literature in the field of fiction, promote the circulation of literature within Europe and encourage greater interest in non- national literary works. The prize is open to the 40 countries currently involved in the Creative Europe programme. Each year, national organisations in one third of the participating countries nominate a novel they trust has the potential to find an audience outside of their national borders, with all participating countries and language areas represented over a 3-year cycle. This fifth cycle of the project marks a restructuring of the prize, with a seven-member European jury now choosing one award winner for each edition of the EUPL, along with five special mentions. All nominated authors will be promoted continuously on a European stage, aiming to reach a wider and international audience and to connect with readers beyond their national and linguistic borders.
