About the Prize
Launched in 2006, the annual Dylan Thomas Prize is one of the most prestigious awards for young writers in the world. It is an international literary award aimed at encouraging raw creative talent worldwide.

Short story collection 'The Boat' by Nam Le was the victor in 2008.
Elyse Fenton was the winner of the 2010 prize with her war-inspired 'Clamor'.
Enter the prize
The £30,000 University of Wales Dylan Thomas Prize is awarded to the best published or produced literary work in the English language, written by an author under 30. Entry deadline for the 2011 University of Wales Dylan Thomas Prize has now passed.
The DylanED Programme
The Dylan Thomas Prize has been granted charitable status largely due to its extensive work with educational institutions, and our DylanED Programme was established to ensure the development of this aspect of the Prize.
