	The Juliet McLauchlan Prize 2010 An annual prize is awarded by the Joseph Conrad Society (UK) for an essay on any aspect of the works and/or life of Joseph Conrad. The prize is dedicated to the memory of Juliet McLauchlan, a much loved Conradian and the Society's original and long-serving chair, by encouraging writing from new Conradians. The value of the prize is £200. The essay competition is designed to foster work by new Conradians and emerging scholars, including undergraduates, postgraduates, and independent scholars of any age, subject to the proviso that entrants should not have held a full-time academic appointment for more than three years. Essays must be original, not previously published, and between 5,000 and 7,000 words in length. The essay must be in English and should be typed double-spaced, and cannot have been previously published in any form. The 2010 competition is now closed. The winner will be announced, as per tradition, at the Society's annual conference. Essays submitted will be judged by a panel of the Joseph Conrad Society Executive Committee. Winning and commended essays will be considered for publication in The Conradian, although in neither case does the award of the prize or receipt of a commendation automatically guarantee publication. Entries, accompanied by a brief curriculum vitae and current address, should be sent to: The Honorary Secretary The Joseph Conrad Society (UK) c/o The Polish Social and Cultural Association (POSK) 238-246 King Street London W6 ORF United Kingdom Should you wish your essay to be returned, please send a self-addressed stamped envelope or international reply coupons.
