2007 Man Asian Literary Prize

If any of you folks are in Asia and happen to have a novel in the works, you may want to join the Man Asian Literary Prize, which will award excellence to unpublished English (original or translated) novels from Asian authors:

This major new literary prize aims to recognise the best of new Asian literature and to bring it to the attention of the world literary community. A distinguished panel of judges selects a single work of fiction to be awarded the prize each year. Works submitted for consideration must not yet be published in English, although they may have been published in other languages.

The prize was initiated through Man Group plc, a leading global financial services firm based in London, and the Hong Kong Literary Festival, the premier event of its kind in Asia.
