		After a period of research, and the agreement of sponsorship by Orange, the prize was announced at the ICA in January 1996 and the first Orange Prize for Fiction was awarded to Helen Dunmore in May for her outstanding A Spell of Winter.

		The Orange Prize was launched on 25 January 1996, and constituted the largest literary prize in the country at that time: £30,000.
