The
Financial Times and The Bodley Head announce their 2015 essay prize
November 10, 2015
The fourth annual Bodley Head/FT Essay Prize aims
to discover the world's best young talent in long-form essay writing. We are
looking for a dynamic, authoritative and lively essay of no more than 3,500
words on a non-fiction topic of your choice. It can be journalistic, it can be
a case study; it can be wide-ranging or minutely focused. In keeping with the
ethos of both sponsors, it can address any topic - from finance to history,
from current affairs to a scientific discovery. We are not looking for a
particular subject; we are simply looking for quality writing.
If you are 35 years old or under and would like
your work to be read by Simon Schama (historian and FT contributing editor),
Will Hammond (editorial director at Bodley Head), Dan Franklin (digital
publisher at Random House), Stuart Williams (publisher at Bodley Head),
Caroline Daniel (FT Weekend editor) and Lucy Tuck (editor, FT Life & Arts)
then please send us your entry by midnight GMT on November 29 2015.
The prize for the winner will be £1,000, an
e-publication with Bodley Head, and a mentoring session with the FT/Bodley
Head. Two runners-up will each receive £500 and e-publication.
