After a four-month hiatus, and a media blackout during the long, wet summer, the literary award formerly known, from 1996 to 2012, as the Orange prize announced the restoration of its original title, the Women's Prize for Fiction (WPF).

The good news is that regardless of what people are going to call this prize, it is not going away any time soon. For now, I'm keeping the challenge name as is...maybe it will change in the future, and if so, I'll get your feedback before doing anything!
By the way, I've deleted the link to the Orange Prize site because it appears that it has been hacked by Malware and can infect your computer...so don't go there. I'll let you know if the site is fixed or a new site opens up.
