Diarmaid MacCulloch Essay Prize

The SIAH is pleased to announce the launch of a £500 annual essay prize in honour of our former President and distinguished academic Rev Professor Diarmaid MacCulloch. The prize will be awarded for the best essay, of not more than 10,000 words, based on the author’s original research on Suffolk history or archaeology. It is intended to encourage those who are relatively new to research and writing. The prize-winning essay will, if it meets editorial standards, be published in the Proceedings. The deadline for submission of the essay is 31 December 2026. Further details are available from the editor of the Proceedings, Dr Nick Amor, on This email address is being protected from spambots.
