The Stuart Hall Essay Prize

The Stuart Hall Foundation is inviting submissions for the second Stuart Hall Essay Prize.

Open to submissions from UK-based entrants aged 18 to 30 inclusive, the prize invites new and unpublished writing that connects with Stuart Hall’s ideas and impacts broad public discourse.

The award aims to stimulate a new generation of thinkers who can offer original, lively and topical contributions to the lines of political, cultural and educational inquiry which Hall pursued. Entries from academics, students, journalists and other writers are welcomed. The winner will receive a prize of £2,000.

Format:

The length of the essay should be 4500-5000 words and should not exceed this word limit.

Essays should be presented in PDF or Word formats (preferably in Arial font sized 12, with margin of 1.5” on left and 1” on all other sides, A4), paginated, with an appended bibliography, and with the word count stated. The bibliography is not included in the word count.

Footnotes are not required, though may be included, and would contribute to the word count.
