The shortlist for the 2020 Ruritania prize is on its way!

The judges of the 2020 Ruritania prize have come up with a longlist!

Judging the contest has not been easy, as we've received lots of excellent submissions.

Authors who made it to the longlist have already been informed privately

In order to keep the selection fair and "blind" up to the final, we are not publishing the list on social media or on our site.

We kindly ask that authors who have been selected do the same, and not share the news until we announce the winners.

The judges will come up with a shortlist in one week's time. Stay tuned.

Huge thanks to everyone who submitted to our contest!

It's been a pleasure to consider your work.

Yours,

Panel team.
