Newnham's Woolf Essay Prize is deigned to give students the opportunity to think and write about women in literature, history, society, and culture, while developing their independent study and writing skills. Entries should be 1,500-2,500 words long, and will answer one of three essay titles inspired by Virginia Woolf's: A Room of One's Own.
The prizes will be book tokens (£300 for first prize, £200 for second prize, and £100 for third prize, with limited highly commended and commended certificates also awarded).
The Woolf Essay Prize is open to all women in Y12 (or equivalent penultimate year of study) from any school type or country. Entries are welcome from students studying any combination of subjects, but may be of particular interest to those interested in English Literature, History, Politics, Philosophy, or Sociology.
