From Literary Singapore newsletter:
A major new literary prize to recognise the work of Asian
writers and to bring them to the attention of the world literary
community was initiated through the joint efforts of Man Group plc
and the Hong Kong International Literary Festival Ltd. Called the
Man Asian Literary Prize, the award seeks entries from Asian
writers for works that are yet to be published in English. Entries
will be submitted in English, and the prize is intended to provide
a broader platform for the cream of new Asian literature to be
brought to the attention of English-reading audiences around the
world.
