These include (and not limited to) fiction, non-fiction, short stories, graphic novels, poetry and all other genres.” The prize awards £1000 to each winner, along with “a unique work of art created by artists chosen for the annual Jhalak Art Residency.”
The judges for the Children’s & YA category are Danielle Jawando, J.P. Rose, and Rashmi Sirdeshpande.
