THE JUDGES

The Harvardwood Literary Prize will be adjudicated on by the Harvard alumni community, which comprises a wide and diverse range of successful and influential taste makers in the worlds of business, art, entertainment, politics and the law. Our distinguished community will be presented with a long list of 30 biographies in June, selected through our partnerships with book stores, libraries, book clubs and publishers.

In October after voters have cast their ballots, we will announce a short list of eight biographies and in November the winner will be announced. The prize will be presented in New York.

Each member of the Harvard community who wishes to participate will be able to vote for the shortlist and the eventual winner through a secure, confidential website
