The trustees of the Boardman Tasker Charitable Trust invite publishers to make submissions for the 2021 Boardman Tasker Award. Please read the full rules before making any submissions.

Books with mountain, not necessarily mountaineering, theme whether fiction, non-fiction, drama or poetry, written in the English language (initially or in translation) will be eligible. The entry must be in book format, and not in the format of a magazine or other periodical or anthology.

The Prize will be awarded for a work published or distributed in the United Kingdom for the first time between 15th July 2020 and 17th July 2021. If the Pandemic prevented the book from being submitted for the 2020 Award, the book must have been first published or distributed in the United Kingdom between 1st August 2019 and 17th July 2021. 

Books should be submitted as soon as they are available, but by 17th July 2021 at the latest. Publishers are invited to send four copies of each book entered (or page-proofs if necessary) with an entry form for each title. No restriction is made on the number of entries each publisher may make.
