Running the Orange Prize

If you sign up to the Orange Broadband Prize for Fiction you'll receive the free longlist and shortlist promotional materials and a resources pack full of great ideas about how to run the promotion. You'll also get the support of a Reading Agency project manager and the chance to win one of three pairs of tickets for the awards ceremony. What more could you ask for?

If you still need persuading then we can also tell you that the Orange Broadband Prize for Fiction is an extremely flexible promotion. You can get involved at a basic level by running displays at either the shortlist or longlist stage or you can use it to broaden your work with local readers. Many libraries choose to promote the Prize from the longlist of 20 books as this gives them a wider range of titles. The choice is yours.
