Overview
The Cundill Foundation wishes to recognize and promote literary and academic achievement in history. It has, therefore, established the Cundill International Prize and Lecture in History at McGill University (Cundill Prize) to be offered each year by McGill University to an individual, of any nationality and from any country, who has published a book determined to have had (or likely to have) a profound literary, social and academic impact in the area of history.
The University will grant one Grand Prize of US$75,000 and two 'Recognition of Excellence' Prizes of US$10,000 each. The recipients of the Prizes will be selected by an independent jury of at least five internationally distinguished and qualified individuals selected by the University. Jury members will be allowed to serve up to two consecutive years.
In order to be eligible, authors will have published a book in English or in French in the area of history. A book, in the area of history, that has been translated to English or French (regardless of the original language of the book) is also eligible. In both cases, the book (original or translation) must have been published within the following dates: June 1, 2009 to May 31, 2010.
