Annual Balint Society Essay Award 2024
The entry deadline has now passed and the essays are with the judging panel. The judges would like to thank all the participants for their submissions to the essay competition.
The winners will be decided and notified by email, towards the end of November 2024 and winning submissions will be announced at the Balint Society AGM and published in the Balint Society journal
There are two prizes of £500 each – one for undergraduate students and one for everyone else
The submissions will be anonymized and judged by four members of the Balint Society and a consensus reached. The judges' decision will be final. The prizes may be shared.
The judges will be looking for evidence of reflection by the author on themselves, the patient(s) and the group experiences, and for progression of ideas. They will value use of language that is precise and engaging, with notable sense of voice, awareness of audience (readers of the journal) and purpose. The use of metaphor, imagination and other literary tools, and a varied sentence structure are desirable.
