The Financial Times Business Book of the Year contest is now accepting entries.
This annual award aims to identify the book that provides the most compelling and enjoyable insight into modern business issues, including management, finance and economics. The judges will give preference to those books whose insights and influence are most likely to stand the test of time.
The winner will receive an award of £30,000, and shortlisted authors will receive £10,000 each. A shortlist of up to six titles will be announced in early autumn, and the winner will be announced at an award dinner on Nov. 11, 2014 in London. Submissions are invited from publishers or bona fide imprints based in any country.
Titles must be published for the first time in the English language, or in English translation, between Nov. 16, 2013, and Nov. 15, 2014. There is no limit to the number of submissions from each publisher, provided they fit the aim of the award. Titles from all genres are eligible, but anthologies will not be considered. There are no
restrictions of gender, age or nationality of authors.
Authors who are current officers, employees or contractors of the Financial Times Group or McKinsey, or the close relatives of such officers, employees or contractors, are not eligible.
By submitting an entry for the award, publishers agree to these terms and conditions and acknowledge that failure to comply with them may result in disqualification.
