Abstract
Every year since 1996 (see webaudio), The Lancet has invited submissions for the Wakley Prize, which is awarded for the best essay on a clinical topic of international health importance. Once again we are looking for an outstanding piece of elegant prose that will engage, entertain, and stimulate our readers, prompting them to wider refl ection. This challenge is open to anyone, anywhere with experience of, or training in, a health-related fi eld. We are especially interested in essays that refl ect the country of origin of the writer. The winner, as judged by Lancet editors (with authors’ identities masked), will receive £2000 and publication in the fi nal issue of the year. Essays should be no longer than 2000 words and should be submitted through the journal’s electronic submission system, specifying Wakley Prize as the article type. The deadline is Sept 28.
