Business Book of the Year Award

Backing ideas that matter

Submissions for the Financial Times and Standard Chartered Business Book of the Year Award are now open.

Entries for the Bracken Prize for Young Authors will follow, opening on 27 April 2026.

Since 2005, the Business Book of the Year Award has celebrated the best ideas in business writing.

At Standard Chartered we’re proud to support both prizes, which champion thought leaders whose work brings clarity to complex issues and offers original perspectives on global business.
