Katharine Briggs Prize 2026 – Call for Entries
The Folklore Society’s Katharine Briggs Prize 2026 has opened for entries.
The Prize is awarded each year to the book which the judges feel has made the most distinguished contribution to folklore studies.
The award is open to all books in English (normally not translations) on folklore having their first, original and initial publication in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland in the period from 1 June 2025 to 31 May 2026. The winner will be announced in November 2026.
Entries can include new scholarly editions of previously published texts, but excludes reprints, folktales retold for children, and collections of tales devoid of scholarly apparatus.
A full list of the Prize’s rules, along with guidance on the submission process and a list of previous winners is available on our website.
Good luck to all the entrants!
