The Shortlists were chosen by our two Judging Panels. The finalists were chosen by our brilliant panel of Judges: Professor Deryn Rees-Jones and Will Kemp for the Poetry Prize; Professor Sharon Ruston and Professor Simon Bainbridge for the Essay Prize. Enormous thanks to both for all their hard work and expertise.
