All 2015 Laureates will receive their Award at a ceremony held in the presence of members of the Dutch Royal Family at the Royal Palace Amsterdam on 2 December. The Prince Claus Fund Gallery in Amsterdamwill exhibit works by Principal Laureate Newsha Tavakolian 27 November 2015 – 4 March 2016.

As the UK publishers of 'False Apocalypse' by Fatos Lubonja, we are deighted that he has been recognised in this way.

Independent and consistently objective in his analysis, Fatos Lubonja is a leading critical voice in his country. His writings offer lucid exposés of events in Albania’s recent history. A regular contributor to newspapers and television commentary, and editor and publisher of a critical journal, he tackles sensitive issues and fearlessly speaks truth to power.
