[1]The European Union Prize for Literature (EUPL) is a unique prize that honours new literary 
[2]voices from across 37 European countries, of nationality, age or language. The prize-winning books, 84 in all since the prize was established in 2009, constitute a wide and wonderful range of high quality fiction produced across Europe; a veritable literary gold mine!
At the Frankfurt Book Fair we are showing a photo exhibition devoted to this year’s 12 winners.

The EUPL is a young prize, now in its seventh year, which seeks to reward the best emerging European authors. It has already come a long way and is fast asserting its unique identity in the European literary landscape. We are well aware that, to prosper, the EUPL depends on the support and interest of a broad group of people in the book sector – a network that involves authors, publishers, booksellers, translators, critics and journalists, literature promoters and champions and, not least, readers. The success of the EUPL depends on you all. Obviously, the more success and visibility the EUPL-winning authors and their books achieve, the more you too will gain from the prize.
We are eager to exchange ideas with you about the possibility of setting up an international network, the ‚Friends of the EUPL‘, with a view to helping the EUPL further grow and blossom in the years to come.
