For Sponsors
The Marrakech English Book Award — alongside the Marrakech English Book Festival — offers a unique opportunity to partner with Morocco's only English-language literary festival and prize. The event attracts local and international authors, educators, cultural organisations, media, and readers, positioning sponsors at the heart of a dynamic and expanding cultural space.
Reaching a Forward Looking AudienceAs English continues to grow as a key language of education, research, and professional exchange in Morocco, the festival connects sponsors with an engaged and forward-looking audience. Supporting the award aligns your organisation with values of literacy, education, inclusivity, and cultural exchange — all communicated through strong media coverage, institutional partnerships, and links with national book fairs and literary networks.
Your Support Makes a Direct ImpactOur team works entirely on a volunteer basis, and 100% of sponsorship funding goes directly towards the production of festival events and the administration of the award. Your support therefore has a clear and tangible impact on the development of English-language literature in Morocco.
