In 2022 Nuncius, the peer-reviewed and international journal devoted to the history of the material and visual culture in science, will award the Nuncius Essay Award for the first time. Supported by Brill, the prize will be awarded to the best original essay related to the material and visual history of science, technology and medicine in any period. The editors of Nuncius have established this prize with the aim of encouraging, recognizing and promoting high-quality research among graduate and early career scholars.

The prize is intended for those who are currently graduate and doctoral students, or have been awarded their PhD (or equivalent) within the past six years. The winner will receive a cash prize of €500 and Open Access publication in Nuncius. Three honourable mentions (€100 of Brill book tokens each) will also be provided. Entries will be judged by a panel comprised of members of the Nuncius editorial board.

The deadline has been extended: you can submit your essay until 12 June 2022. For updates, have a look at the Nuncius Twitter account.
