Jean Seaton, director of the Orwell Prize, announces the judges for the Orwell Prize 2012 as it opens for submissions, ahead of a launch debate at the Frontline Club, London on 9 November 2011. The launch debate was on 'Writing the Riots', with Nicolas Kent (artistic director of the Tricycle Theatre), Paul Lewis (special projects editor of The Guardian, previously shortlisted), Mary Riddell (associate editor of the Daily Telegraph, previously shortlisted) and Alex Wheatle (award-winning novelist, books include Brixton Rock and East of Acre Lane).
