Dec 27, 2013 - 6:39:48 PM



Arts researchers or practitioners living and working in the Caribbean‬ are eligible to apply for the Bridget Jones Travel Award, the deadline for which is the 14th January 2014. The winner of the award will present their work at the 38th Society for Caribbean Studies Annual Conference, which is scheduled to be held at the University of Glasgow from 2-4 July 2014. The award is named for the late Dr Bridget Jones who died of cancer on April 4, 2000 and was a long-standing member of the Caribbean research community and a valued member and friend of the Society.

Eligibility:
If you are an arts practitioner living and working in any region of the Anglophone, Hispanic, Francophone or Dutch speaking Caribbean, you may apply for the Award. The successful recipient will receive £650 towards travel expenses and, in addition, a full bursary to cover conference fees and accommodation. Applications are especially welcome from individuals with no institutional affiliations. We encourage applications from across the arts: from visual artists, performers, creative writers, filmmakers, folklorists, playwrights etc.

Completed applications must be received by 14th January 2014. A decision will be made by the committee in late January.
