The Newman Prize for Chinese Literature was established in 2008 by Peter Gries, director of the Institute for US-China Issues at the University of Oklahoma (OU). The Newman Prize is awarded every two years. The winner is selected based on literary merit; any living author writing in Chinese is eligible for a recommendation. The Prize honors Harold J. Newman and Ruth Newman, who enabled the establishment of the OU Institute for US-China Issues.
