The Sidney Prize

The sidney prize is an award that is presented to individuals or organizations whose efforts are considered to be of great value to society. The award is named after Sir Sydney Cox, a prominent English teacher and writer who was an advocate of the social sciences and humanities in schools.

The prize is awarded annually to a student who produces a work of exceptional quality in the form of a Honours thesis within the Department of Philosophy at the University of Sydney. It is awarded on the recommendation of the Chair of the Department and the Undergraduate and Postgraduate Coordinators. It is funded by the Lucy Firth bequest.

In announcing this year’s winner, the committee noted that “the winner’s submission, ‘Who Rattles the Night?,’ was an eerily persuasive exploration of the effects of colonisation and the uneasy relationship between indigenous and non-indigenous Australians. The story resonated strongly with the judges.”

The winners of the sidney prize will be announced at a ceremony on Friday, June 15. Winners will receive a $10,000 cheque, and a framed photo of the city skyline.

Winners will be notified by phone or email, and will be required to provide their bank account number for verification. If a winner is unable to verify their bank account information, the prize will be forfeited and reinvested in future prizes.
