The prize for the winning entry is 100 GBP and a year’s subscription to the Society. The winning essay will also be published in the peer-reviewed academic journal Key Words.

The Style Notes, and information about previous winning entries, can be found on the Raymond Williams Society’s website: www.raymondwilliams.co.uk.
