The Financial Times is looking for the best business book for 2021 following the launch of the 17th edition of the FT and McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award.

The award carries prize money worth £30,000, which goes to the author or authors of the title that provides the “most compelling and enjoyable” insight into business issues. Each of the five other finalists will receive £10,000.

FT editor Roula Khalaf will be chairing the judging panel.

All books published for the first time in English in the 12 months to November 15 can apply, with publishers submitting their titles in digital form.

About 15 books will be agreed in August and judges will select up to six finalists for a shortlist, to be announced on September 23.

The winner will be announced on December 1 at a ceremony in London, where the Bracken Bower Prize for young business authors will also be presented.
