The Shakespeare Memorial Awards 2021 is an annual initiative of the World Writers’ Association (WoWA) to recognize the 7 most prolific authors across the 7 continents in the world. The Prize, which is the first of its kind globally, is named after pre-eminent English poet and playwright, William Shakespeare (1564- 1616).
The Award targets global writers living in the seven continents in the world – and brings together Scholars, Writers, Literary Veterans, Book Enthusiasts, Booksellers, Policymakers, and Youth from across the world – to mark the anniversary of William Shakespeare on 23rd April every year.
The goal of the Award is to award seven (7) literary prizes to the world’s 7 most prolific authors from the seven continents in the world. It’s also meant to engage a global narrative on the life and works of William Shakespeare, the state of world literature, and the hope of the renaissance.

The Theme for the 2021 Shakespeare Memorial Prize for Literature is ‘’Harmonizing Indigenous Languages of The World: The Role of Writers’ In Cultural Preservation’’.
