This Award is offered by the Brixton Society
in memory of its former Archivist and
prolific author, Ken Dixon. It is intended to
encourage schools and other educational
institutions in the Brixton area to have
their work in local history and other local
studies published by the Brixton Society.
Eligibility: all schools and other
educational institutions within, or taking
significant catchment from, the Brixton
Society area, and individual students in
tertiary education who either attend an
educational institution within the Society
area or who normally live within the Society
area.
Entries: must be substantially about life and
work, today or in the past, in the Brixton
Society area. The length may be from a small
pamphlet (say twelve hundred words) up to a
substantial book (say twenty thousand words).
Manuscripts must be typed or, preferably, on
3¼ inch floppy discs using any common DOS
word processor. Drawings, maps and pictures
may be included.
Entries must be accompanied by a completed
entry form (see next page). Copyright of
award-winning entries will vest in the
Brixton Society. Submission of an entry
implies acceptance of all the rules of the
award as set out here.
Awards: The Brixton Society will make cash
awards in the range £20 to £100 to entries
which the Society judges to be good enough to
publish. The amount of the award will depend
upon the length of publication. The Society
may make more than one award in any one year
and reserves the right not to make any award
in any one year. In addition, the winners
will see their work published in a quality
manner and on sale at events such as the
Lambeth Country Show. All costs of
publication will be met by the Society. The
authors and editors will also receive free
copies of the publication together with a
certificate from the Society.
