The Andrée Blouin Prize 2025

Andrée Blouin (1921–1986) was a political activist and writer from the Central African Republic (CAR) who became integral to the fight for independence in the Democratic Republic of Congo and this prize is set up in her honour.

The Andrée Blouin Prize supports African women (both cis and transgender) who write about history, politics, or current affairs from a left perspective.

The prize foregrounds voices of colour but is open to all women living on the African continent.

The winner of the Andrée Blouin Prize will receive an advance of $2000 and a publishing contract with Inkani Books.

The winner will be announced in November 2025.
