The Polari Prize is an annual UK literary prize for LGBTQ+ literature. Established by Paul Burston and the Polari salon, the prize has been awarded annually since its launch in 2011.[1] The Polari First Book Prize is restricted to first books by writers who were born or work in the UK and Ireland.[2] In 2019 a further award was introduced, the Polari Prize for Book of the Year.[3]
