In partnership with Shenandoah, the Hope Prize celebrates the best of Zambian prose and poetry. One winner is selected each year, receives an honorarium of $500, and is featured in the fall issue of Shenandoah. Only work by Zambian writers published in Ubwali Literary Magazine will be considered for the prize. There is no separate application process, all Zambian writers published in Ubwali Literary Magazine in the preceding year will be considered.

A shortlist will be announced in June and a winner in July.
