| 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.
