The prize is for work in linguistics by Early Career Researchers (ECR). Starting in 2021, the prize will be awarded to the best article by an eligible ECR member of the LAGB that has been accepted for publication by the Journal of Linguistics (JL), the journal of the LAGB.

In the event of uncertainty about eligibility, potential candidates should contact the LAGB directly here.
For the next award, to be made in the summer of 2022, the deadline for acceptance of manuscript by JL will be March 31st 2022
The value of the prize is £500. Where there is more than one winner, it will be shared equally between the winners.
