The annual grand prize award of $50,000 will recognize the very best writing, creative works, actions, or new media communications defending free speech and expression. Additionally, our jury will award two promising writers $12,500 summer research grants to pursue projects that enhance understanding and advocacy of Free Speech rights. Together, these prizes will support those making an outstanding case for the perennial wisdom and ongoing necessity of the American tradition of free speech.
If you have questions about the McLellan Prizes, please feel free to email me or the team at the Russell Kirk Center. We look forward to reading your submissions.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey O. Nelson, Ph.D.
Executive Director & CEO
