The Hudson Prize is an American literary award for a collection of poetry or fiction.[1] The award is administered by Black Lawrence Press. It was previously awarded, under a different endowment, as the Ontario Prize. Poets & Writers magazine has consistently listed it as a "top ten" literary prize in its annual rankings.[2][3][4] It is the largest and longest-running single category/multiple genre book prize in the United States.[5]

In 2013, three of the 25 recipients of National Endowment for the Arts grants were past winners of the Hudson Prize.[6]
