The Kim Scott Walwyn Prize, founded in honour and in memory of a Publishing Director at Oxford University Press, has recently announced the 2011 award process.

The Prize seeks to recognise the professional achievements of women in publishing, and in previous years it has been awarded to Lynette Owen, Copyright Director of Pearson, Annette Thomas, CEO of Macmillan, and Kathy Rooney, Managing Director of Bloomsbury Publishing.

This year, the Prize is seeking to award emerging rather than established talent, and has teamed up with the Society of Young Publishers. The full details of the award and the submission process are available here. We’re sure some of our graduates should apply, and the Stirling Centre for International Publishing and Communication supports the Prize’s aim of fostering and recognising emerging talent.
