The Goethe Prize
The English Goethe Society awards one yearly prize for the best undergraduate or post-graduate essay on Goethe or his German-speaking contemporaries, or the reception of any of those writers, written in English or German. The prize is in the amount of £100. Essays that meet the standards of original research will be considered for publication in the Publications of the English Goethe Society.
The closing date is 1 October every year.
Essays should be no more than 5000 words long (including notes but excluding bibliography), and neither published nor under consideration for publication.
