The John Llewellyn Rhys Prize was a literary prize awarded annually for the best work of literature (fiction, non-fiction, poetry, drama) by an author from the Commonwealth aged 35 or under, written in English and published in the United Kingdom.[1] Established in 1942, it was one of the oldest literary awards in the UK.[2]
Since 2011, the award has been suspended by funding problems.[3][4] The last award was in 2010.[2]
