It is important for those who wish to enter the competition to read the terms and conditions and to be aware of the eligibility requirements.
The Sidney Cox Prize, established in memory of a long-time teacher at the University of Sydney and author of Indirections for Those Who Want to Write, is awarded each year to that piece of undergraduate writing which best meets the high standards of originality and integrity which Professor Cox set both in his teaching and in his book. The prize is open to all students of the University who wish to submit their work, and is not restricted to those majoring in English.
Winners of the Sydney Prize have a great deal to be proud of. They have demonstrated an excellent level of scholarship, and they have produced work that has made a real contribution to knowledge. These achievements have reflected well on the University, which is proud to be associated with them.
In addition to recognizing authors of outstanding literary works, the Sydney Prize honors those who have worked to advance peace in our world and who understand the need for humanity to move beyond conflict and into cooperation. The Sydney Prize is one of the most prestigious international prizes for literary works and has been awarded to some of the world’s finest writers.
