Alternarratives was a £15,000 prize for writers to explore innovation in short-form storytelling.

Nesta was looking to unearth the future of cutting-edge short-form storytelling. In its pilot year, the prize encouraged storytellers to imagine how short-form fiction could be told in new ways to help re-engage young people at secondary school, aged 11-16, with the act of reading for pleasure.
