You still have time to take part in this year’s Prize for New Scholarship

The ‘Printing Historical Society Prize for New Scholarship’ is being offered again this year (2023), with an extended deadline of 1 January 2024. The Prize will be given to the best new article on any printing-historical subject, suitable for the Society’s Journal. The winning author will receive the ‘Printing Historical Society Prize for New Scholarship’ for the year, a purse of £500, membership of the Society for one year, and publication in the PHS Journal (and digitally, subject to the usual processes of peer-review). The competition is open to all, but those new to the subject (current students, early-career scholars, independent researchers and anyone new to printing history) are particularly encouraged to take part by sending their article (between 4000 and 8000 words, in Word format) to the Journal Editor ( editor@printinghistoricalsociety.org.uk), along with a short covering-letter describing their research. The results will be announced before the end of the calendar year. Full details are here. The Editor will be happy to answer queries and discuss possible subjects and approaches for submissions.
