Other: The Sir George Staunton Prize for an article by a young scholar (no date noted)

The Royal Asiatic Society announces the introduction of a new prize for essays produced by young scholars ('young scholar' being defined as either someone in the process of completing their PhD or someone who has been awarded their doctorate within the previous five years) working on the history, archaeology, literature, language, religion, archaeology and art of Asia. The focus is not limited to any specific region within Asia or to any particular discipline, something that reflects the broad remit of the Society's activities and interests. Award-winning submissions will be published in the Society's peer-reviewed Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society. No rigid limit is imposed on the length of the contribution but it should be appreciated that the most suitable length is c. 6,000 words. Submissions should be in 'hardcopy' on A4 sheets with double spacing accompanied by an electronic version. Alternatively scholars may submit as an email attachment to the Executive Officer, or sent by post to: The Journal, The Royal Asiatic Society, 14 Stephenson Way London NW1, 2HD.
