Call for nominations: Martin Lehnert Prize

The prize is awarded annually for an outstanding final thesis (Magister, Master’s, or State Examination thesis), a dissertation, or a documented student project (such as a theatre production, exhibition, etc.). The prize money amounts to €2,000 for a dissertation, €500 for a final thesis, and €500 for a student project. The award is primarily aimed at the fields of English Studies, German Studies, and Theatre Studies.

Eligible for nomination are works written in German or English that have been completed or submitted at universities in Germany, Austria, or Switzerland. Works produced at universities outside the German-speaking world by early-career scholars from Germany, Austria, or Switzerland may also generally be nominated. The academic supervisors of the respective works are entitled to submit nominations.

Nominated works (from the current year or the two preceding years) may be submitted in two copies, together with an evaluation report, to the German Shakespeare Society by 15 December.
