Tuesday 29th November 2011
The Man Asian Literary Prize is thrilled to let you know that it will be holding the shortlist announcement for the 2011 Prize at a special event at Man Group, London, on 10 January 2012.
The announcement will be twinned with a similar event in Hong Kong, the home of the Prize, and will allow invited guests to celebrate the shortlist simultaneously in both Asia and the West.
Chair Judge Razia Iqbal will announce the shortlist at 10am in London (6pm Hong Kong) which will be broadcast live online at www.manasianliteraryprize.org
David Parker, Chair of the Board of Directors, said, “Bringing Asian literature to the widest possible readership is a key aim of the Man Asian Literary Prize and so it is fitting that we are holding a joint celebration of the shortlist in both London and Hong Kong. Readers from around the world will be able to watch the announcement live and join in the conversation before the winner of the 2011 Man Asian Literary Prize is announced on 15 March 2012 at a Prize Dinner in Hong Kong.”
