Anglophone world.
The Rules
1. The essay can be on any aspect of the History of the Book Trade in
the Anglophone world during the manuscript or print eras. Papers
drawing on research in primary sources and critical, methodological or
theoretical essays are welcome.
2. Any student registered for a postgraduate degree (master?s or
doctoral) is eligible to enter the competition. Early career scholars
within three years of completion of their PhD are also eligible, as

The Decision
1. The essays submitted will be assessed by at least three members of
the ?Print Networks' committee (all of whom are active researchers in
the field).
2. Submissions will be judged in terms of their originality, depth,
scope and rigour and the extent to which they make a new contribution
to historical understanding, as well as qualities of style and
presentation.
3. The Print Networks committee reserves the right not to award a
prize in any particular year.
4. The prize will be announced in early July via email, on the Print
Networks website and will be awarded publically at the Print Networks
conference.
5. The prize will be £150 plus free entry (including food, drink and
