Invitation To Palestine Book Awards

The PBA team would like to invite you to our virtual night with Gaza and the PBA winners announcement night on the 18th of January 6PM GMT.

Click here to attend.

The Palestine Book Awards team have decided to postpone the PBA 2023 ceremony for this year due to the atrocities unfolding in Gaza and continuing to unfold. We believe it would be inappropriate to celebrate Palestinian literature and achievements at this time. Ultimately the year is coming to an end. We have to announce the winners to open up for submission for PBA 2024. The PBA team and judges agreed it’s best to host a virtual event where we announce the winners and carry on the event shedding the light on Gaza. We will be joined by Mosab Abu Toha – A Palestinian poet from Gaza and winner of the 2022 PBA Creative Award. Mosab is a survivor of Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza. The event will be moderated by Professor Eugene Rogan, St Anthony’s College.

We would be grateful if you could join us.
