Book Prize
BRISMES administered the British-Kuwait Friendship Society Prize in Middle Eastern Studies from its inception until the end of 2010. This prize was founded thanks to an endowment of the Abdullah Mubarak Charitable Foundation. In each of the years since the prize commenced, it has attracted around 30 nominations from some 15 publishers and the overall standard of entries has been extremely high. The prize is awarded for the best scholarly work on the Middle East each year. Normally the chronological remit of the prize will be from the rise of Islam until the present day, but outstanding scholarly entries from the pre-Islamic era may also be considered.
Administration for the prize has now moved to Cambridge. Please visit: www.bkfsprize.co.uk for further inforamtion.
The deadline for entries for this year's prize is 28th February 2011..
