Three Literary Prizes

SIR,—To mark the twenty-first anniversary of its publication, Adam, an international monthly review, is glad to announce that, thanks to the generosity of a few old subscribers, three literary, prizes will be awarded in November each year as follows: a. One prize of £10 for the best short story, either already pub- lished in Adam or received in MS. before October each year,

b. A prize of £10 for the most interesting essay, and c. A prize of £10 for one poem or cycle of poems.

A jury of distinguished men of letters will adjudicate in November, and the prize-winning pieces, if still unpublished, will appear in the December issue of our magazine. It is hoped that these prizes, however modest, will be an encouragement for writers of the younger generation.
