The Rhys Davies Trust sponsors the Rhys Davies Fiction Prize, part of Wales Book of the Year. This award celebrates Wales’ outstanding literary talent in English-language fiction.
The Rhys Davies Trust was founded in 1991 by Meic Stephens, with funds generously provided by Lewis Davies, brother of the writer Rhys Davies (1901-78). The Trust is a registered charity whose objectives are to promote the writer’s work and foster Welsh writing in English, especially in the valleys of south Wales and in the genres in which Rhys Davies wrote.
