Books by 15 authors with roots in eight countries have been shortlisted for the 2025 OCM Bocas Prize for Caribbean Literature, sponsored by One Caribbean Media, owner of the Trinidad Express newspaper, TV6, and the OCM radio network. Presented annually since 2011, the OCM Bocas Prize is the most coveted award for Caribbean authors. It recognises books in three genre categories — poetry, fiction, and literary nonfiction — published by authors of Caribbean birth or citizenship in the preceding year.
