It is envisioned that this is a reward for the best contemporary (and for want of a better word) creative writing that is formally innovative, genre bending and which may point toward a 21st century supra-national tradition that is continually in the process of emerging. A familiarity with the BDP backlist may point toward the arena of literature and contemporary art in which the press is interested in producing.
