“D. H. Lawrence Prize” for travel writing
The Provincial Administration of Cagliari in collaboration with the Borough of
Mandas announces the “D.H. Lawrence Prize” for travel writing to be awarded for
contemporary works of fiction or non-fiction. The Prize aims at encouraging the
genre of travel writing as a means of developing understanding among people from
different cultures It also aims at promoting interest in that part of Sardinia
through which D.H. Lawrence travelled in 1921, which led to the vivid
descriptions of the people and places he encountered in his book Sea and
Sardinia.
The natural home of the Prize is Mandas, a little village where D. H. Lawrence
spent a night and the location of the future D. H. Lawrence Literary Park.
The presentation of the Prize will take place in Mandas, Sardinia, in spring
2007 at the Convento di San Francesco.
The Prize is divided into two categories:
1) Fiction or non-fiction works published in Italian or English. Authors with
books published during 2005/06 by registered publishers and on sale in regular
outlets may take part.
The jury in this category may consider and eventually award the Prize to works
published in Italian or English that have not been sent to the Prize Secretariat
but that have been put forward by at least two of its members.
2) Unpublished works (short stories and/or travel diaries) in Italian only.
The Prize will be awarded annually.
The Prizes will amount to € 12,000.00 (twelve thousand) for the published works
and €3,000 (three thousand) for the unpublished
The jury will consist of six British and Italian novelists, historians and
essayists.
Six copies of the work submitted should be sent to the Prize Secretariat no
later than 31st December 2006.
