The Orange Prize is the UK’s only annual book award for fiction written by a woman. Established in 1996 with the aim of celebrating and promoting fiction by female authors throughout the world, it is open to any woman of any nationality or age writing in English.

The prize this year was won by Zadie Smith for On Beauty <www.orangeprize.co.uk>
