Oxford Art Journal Essay Prize for Early Career Researchers 2022

Submissions are now open for the 2022 Oxford Art Journal Essay Prize. The submissions deadline is December 1, 2022.

The annual Oxford Art Journal Essay Prize for Early Career Researchers launched in 2018, to coincide with the journal’s fortieth year of publication, and seeks to further enhance Oxford Art Journal’s international reputation for publishing innovative scholarship.

The essay will be on any topic relevant to art history and should be between 6,000 and 10,000 words (normally including footnotes) in length. The editors will review all submissions to select the Prize winner and will work with the successful candidate to advise on revision of the manuscript for publication. The journal and Oxford University Press will advise the Prize winner on securing image permissions and may be able to make a contribution to image costs.

The winner will receive:

1. Publication of the winning essay in Oxford Art Journal
2. £500 worth of Oxford University Press books
3. A year’s free subscription to Oxford Art Journal

Other entries of sufficient quality may be invited to publish their submission in Oxford Art Journal.
