As part of our new Celebrating Classics Campaign, the Classical Association is thrilled to announce a Write | Speak | Design Competition, which is open to everybody, across the world, and celebrates how and why we study the ancient past.

A share of more than £2000 prize money is available, and our judges, Prof. Peter Frankopan, Dr Mary-Ann Ochota and Sana van Dal, hope entrants will share their innovative ideas as well as their experiences of studying the ancient world.

 There are two different prompts: for under 25s, ‘Why is Classics Important?’, and for those aged 25 and over, ‘Classics Education: A Manifesto for Today’. Both competitions offer the chance to submit a written piece, a poster or a spoken presentation. The closing date is 31 January 2025.

The competition is supported by a Resource Bank about Classics Education and anyone who enters our competition, or who sends in their response via this form, will be entered into our free prize draw – with huge thanks to all of our supporters.

We would very much appreciate your support of the campaign (more info on how to do this here), and please spread the word to anyone who might be interested in entering this free Competition.

Best wishes,

Katrina
