Bastiat Prize

Bastiat Prize

The Bastiat Prize is a journalism award, given annually by the International Policy Network, London.

The Prize is open to writers anywhere in the world whose published articles eloquently and wittily elucidate the role of the institutions of a free society.

Instituted in 2002, the Prize has been inspired by the 19th-century French philosopher Frédéric Bastiat and his compelling defence of liberty. Bastiat's brilliant use of satire and allegory enabled him to relate complex economic issues to a general audience. In keeping with his legacy, Bastiat Prize entries are judged on intellectual content, the persuasiveness of the language used and the type of publication in which they appear.

Judges have included Lady Thatcher, James Buchanan and Milton Friedman.
