Dissertation Prize Call for Submissions - 2024

This year, due to rolling over the entries from last year due to the marking and assessment boycott, we are offering three prizes, part-sponsored by Taylor & Francis for innovative and high quality undergraduate dissertations on any issue related to the geographies of children, youth and families. 


  • The first prize is £100 from Taylor & Francis, and a one-year subscription to Children’s Geographies;

  • the second prize is £100 from Taylor & Francis; and

  • the third prize is £50 from GCYFRG.


The dissertations should be approximately 8,000-10,000 words in length and should be accompanied by moderated institutional marks, illustrative feedback, and reasons for nomination.  


Please send the following via email or link (i.e. Dropbox) to: samantha.wilkinson@mmu.ac.uk

1.     a PDF file of the dissertation;

2.     supporting statement (including final mark, feedback, and reasons for nomination); and

3.     an email address for the student that will be live after September 2024 (e.g. a personal email address where institutional addresses expire following graduation).


The competition is open to any dissertations produced during the 2023/24 academic year by students enrolled on an undergraduate degree programme at a UK University.

Submissions are open to all UK geography departments as well as interdisciplinary degree programmes where the student has engaged with the geographies of children, youth and families literature. 


Please note a department may not submit more than one entry, unless they submitted last year and have been notified that is has been rolled over, then they are permitted to submit an entry for this new academic year.  


We look forward to reading your submissions.


Deadline 12th July 2024
