While the journal publishes many articles which focus on the relationship between literature and film, the Editors are particularly keen to publish work which challenges the primacy of that relationship: this might include essays on computer games, opera, popular music, animation, genre fiction or work with a wider theoretical sweep. The Adaptation Prize The winner's prize will consist of: * Publication of the winning paper in a volume of Adaptation * A cash prize of £50.00 * A year's free print and online subscription to Adaptation Other entries of sufficient quality may be invited to publish. Entry requirements The Essay Prize is open to anyone currently registered for either an undergraduate or postgraduate degree on any subject within adaptation studies. The entry must not be under consideration for publication elsewhere. Essays are to be no longer than 4,000 words, inclusive of footnotes and references should conform to Adaptation house style. The closing date will be 1 April 2015. Click here<http://www.oxfordjournals.org/our_journals/adaptation/entryrequirements.html> for full details of the Essay Prize Requirements.
