Tom Stoppard Prize

The Tom Stoppard Prize (Czech: Cena Toma Stopparda) is a literary award given annually by the Charter 77 Foundation for outstanding primarily non-fiction work by a writer of Czech origin. It was established in 1983 and first awarded in 1984, to Eva Kantůrková for My Companions in the Bleak House. The award is named for and funded by the Czech-born British playwright Tom Stoppard.[1][2] In recent years, the award has been made at the Mayor's residence in Prague.[3][4]
