What is it?

Students are invited to write a 3,000-word essay on a Shakespearean topic of their choice. The entrant with the best essay will win a book and the chance to see their work printed in the association’s newsletter. Previous prizes have included William Shakespeare: Complete Works and The Oxford Companion to Shakespeare.

How to enter
