Edinburgh - Blackwell Bookshop South Bridge

Blackwell is delighted to be a partner of the Edinburgh Gadda Prize 2010, the newly established prize awared by the Edinburgh Journal of Gadda Studies (EJGS).

Founded in 2000 to celebrate Carlo Emilio Gadda, one of the literary greats of European Modernism, the EJGS has since grown into a formidable international network making Edinburgh the premier centre for the promotion of Gadda studies worldwide.

Building on the success of the EJGS formula, the Edinburgh Gadda Prize provides a platform to recognise scholarly brilliance in Gadda studies and further afield while also promoting young creative Scottish talent through a combination of scholarly and community projects.

Blackwell is proud to be one of the sponsors of the Giallo Giovane, the prize for the Best Junior Detective Story. Open to S2 and S3 pupils of Edinburgh's secondary schools, the best 10 entries will be invited to take part in the Blackwell Gadda Workshop. In 2010 the Workshop will be led by New York born film-director and writer Annie Griffin, with prominent Scottish actors as guest participants. The winner of the prize will be announced at the Prize Award Ceremony at the Caledonian Hall in the Royal Botanic Gardens on 19 June 2010.
