ECR Essay Prize

Early Career Researcher Essay Prize

The SHRT offers an annual Essay Prize for an unpublished piece of work by an early career researcher. The Prize is intended to promote the careers of ECRs, and especially those from social groups who remain under-represented in the SHR’s author profile, by providing an opportunity to publish in a leading peer-reviewed journal. The winning entry will receive a £500 award. It will be published in the SHR according to the journal’s normal peer review process.

The SHRT is currently updating its guidance and procedure for the Essay Prize. The 2025 round will be announced shortly: please watch this space for more information.
