London Archaeological Prize 2020

1/1/2020

 
Background
The London Archaeological Prize was established in 2004 to encourage improving publication standards and better dissemination of London’s archaeology. Having supported it from the beginning, London Archaeologist now administers the Prize, also known as the Publication Prize, which is awarded every two years.
 
The 2020 Prize
  • Nominations are invited for publications that appeared in 2018 and 2019.
  • We want to encourage as many nominations as possible: anyone may nominate a publication, whether author, publisher or appreciative reader.
  • The award (£250 plus a certificate) will be presented at a ceremony in the autumn of 2020.
  • If there are sufficient entries of a high enough standard, a second prize of £100 plus certificate may also be awarded.
  • Entries may be produced by professional, amateur or commercial publishers, but must be in digital or printed form (not broadcast).
  • Any type of print or digital publication will be eligible – it may be a book, monograph, journal article, blog or the proceedings of a conference.
  • Publications must be related to the archaeology of Greater London, defined as the area within the M25.
  • There is no restriction on each entry’s target audience – scholars, professional or volunteer archaeologists, the general public or children are all valid.
  • The judges will consider the quality and excellence of each entry in relation to a series of agreed criteria, assessing how well each publication addresses its aims.
 
Closing Date
Nominations must be received on or before 11th May 2020.

Judging
Entries will be assessed by a panel of judges appointed by the Publication Committee of London Archaeologist.
 
Procedure
As well as providing their own contact details, the nominator(s) should name the publication and publisher and give a brief explanation (100 words max) of why they believe it is worthy of the Prize. It would be helpful, but not essential, to use the standard nomination form. Note that there is no need to provide copies of the publication at this initial stage. The judges will agree a short list from those nominated and will then ask publishers for copies. Copies will be returnable on request.

Forms and Submissions

All nominations should be returned to:
