The J. Anthony Lukas Book Prize is an annual $10,000 award given to a book that exemplifies, "literary grace, a commitment to serious research and social concern." The prize is given by the Nieman Foundation and by the Columbia University School of Journalism.
Established in 1998, the Lukas Prize Project consists of three awards:
- The J. Anthony Lukas Book Prize ($10,000)
- The Mark Lynton History Prize ($10,000)
- The J. Anthony Lukas Work-in-Progress Award ($25,000 plus $5,000 for an annual finalist)
The project is named for Pulitzer Prize-winning American journalist and author, J. Anthony Lukas; it has been underwritten since its inception by the family of Mark Lynton, a German Jew who had careers with the British military, Citroen and Hunter Douglas.
