The Jury selected the shortlist of the Angelus Central European Award 2022. The winners – both an author and a translator (of the winning book, and in case a Polish writer wins – of another book from the shortlist) will be announced during the gala on 15 October 2022.

Also, between 15 September and 14 October, readers will be voting for their favourite title, the author of which will receive the Natalya Gorbanevskaya Award and a 3-month residency in Wrocław.
