The Irene Adler Prize: A $1,000 Scholarship for Women Writers

The 2020 Irene Adler Prize competition was suspended due to the coronavirus situation.

The full $1,000 prize was donated to Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) for its pandemic response.

Entrants were notified personally and got the option of re-submitting their essays for the 2021 Irene Adler Prize competition.
