Overview
The Stowe Prize is a $10,000 award to recognize a United States author whose written work makes a tangible impact on a social justice issue critical to contemporary society. The inaugural Prize will be awarded in 2011, and honors the 200th anniversary of Stowe's birth.
Harriet Beecher Stowe's 1852 novel Uncle Tom's Cabin changed how Americans thought about slavery, galvanizing the antislavery movement and widening the divisions that led to the Civil War.

It is in this tradition that the winner of the Stowe Prize will be chosen. The Prize will be awarded biennially.
To propose a nominee, complete and return the nomination form. Self-nominations are accepted.
