About Runciman Award
The Runciman Award is an annual literary award offered by the Anglo-Hellenic League for a work published in English dealing wholly or in part with Greece or Hellenism. On some years the prize has been awarded jointly and shared between two or more authors. The award is named in honour of the late Sir Steven Runciman and is currently sponsored (since 2021) by the A. G. Leventis Foundation and the Athanasios C. Laskaridis Charitable Foundation. The value of the prize is £10,000.
