The English Goethe Society is extending the deadline for the two student essay competitions described below to 31 October 2016.
Goethe Prize
The English Goethe Society awards one yearly prize for the best undergraduate or post-graduate essay on Goethe's life and works. The prize is in the amount of £100. Articles that meet the standards of original research will be considered for publication in Publications of the English Goethe Society. Essays should be no more than 5,000 words in length (including notes) and neither published nor under consideration for publication. The closing date is 1 October every year.
Thomas Mann Prize
The Thomas Mann Prize, in the amount of £100, is funded by the Ida Herz Bequest (Ida Herz was a friend of Thomas Mann), and is awarded for an undergraduate or post-graduate essay that addresses some aspect of Thomas Mann's life and work. It is awarded in even-numbered years, alternating with an endowed lecture; at the discretion of the Council, the essay may be published in PEGS. Essays should be no more than 5,000 words in length (including notes) and neither published nor under consideration for publication. The closing date is 1 October in even years.
Entries for both prizes should be sent by e-mail to the editors of PEGS: Dr Kevin Hilliard ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>), Dr Angus J. Nicholls ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>), and Professor W. Daniel Wilson ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>).
