Ondaatje Prize

The Royal Society of Literature Ondaatje Prize is an annual literary award given by the Royal Society of Literature. The £10,000 award is given for a work of fiction, non-fiction or poetry which evokes the "spirit of a place", and which is written by someone who is a citizen of or who has been resident in the Commonwealth or the Republic of Ireland.

The prize bears the name of its benefactor Christopher Ondaatje. The prize incorporates the Winifred Holtby Memorial Prize which was presented up to 2002 for regional fiction.
