The annual R.J. Hollingdale Essay Prize was inaugurated in 2017. It is awarded in fond memory of Reg, and the marvellous work he did translating Nietzsche’s works into English. A short online biography of Reg can be found here.
The prize-winning essay is to be presumptively published in the Journal of Nietzsche Studies. Winners are expected to submit their prize-winning essay to JNS for review, and the prize-winning essay will be published subject to editorial review and publication.
The prize, which is awarded to a postgraduate student or recently postdoctoral scholar for a paper presented at the FNS conference, further consists of a modest 300 GBP and (– a special request from Reg’s daughter Frances –) a bottle of Bell’s whisky.
