SDN PUBLICATION PRIZE

We are delighted to announce that the competition for the SDN Publication Prize 2021 is now open.

One of the chief aims of the Society of Dix-Neuviémistes is to promote and disseminate new linguistic, literary, historical, cultural, philosophical, and comparative perspectives on nineteenth-century French and Francophone studies. The Society awards an annual prize for the best journal article published by a postgraduate student, or an early-career researcher who has not yet entered her or his first permanent full-time post.

The competition is open to postgraduates and early-career members of the Society of any nationality. It includes a cash prize of £300 and mentions on the SDN website and social media. The winner will be invited to receive the award at a reception during the Society’s annual conference.

Eligible candidates are invited to submit peer-reviewed journal articles published during the year 2020. To be eligible to submit an article for the prize, candidates must be either postgraduate students or early-career researchers who have not yet entered her or his first permanent full-time post at the point of submission and be members of the Society of Dix-Neuviémistes.
