_PRIZES_
Firstly, we would like to announce the winners of two prizes awarded this year by the journal:

Since 2010, the *Susan Hayward Prize *(named after the founder of the journal) has been awarded annually by the College of General Editors for the best article published in the journal in the previous year by an author who was registered as a doctoral candidate at the time of submission. The Prize consists of a cash award (£200 since 2021). We congratulate *Eli Boonin-Vail*(University of Pittsburgh, USA) on winning the 2022-3 prize for his article ‘The system of the genius: the French New Wave’s /politique des producteurs/’, published in volume 23, nº 4.The system of the genius: the French New Wave’s politique des producteurs: French Screen Studies: Vol 23, No 4 (tandfonline.com) <https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/26438941.2022.2057665>

_SMALL RESEARCH AND TRAVEL BURSARIES_
Secondly, a reminder of an upcoming deadline (on 1December) for applying for one of our bursaries:

As a journal dedicated to disseminating research in the field of French and Francophone cinema and audio-visual media, /French Screen Studies /offers small bursaries to help postgraduate students and early career researchers who wish to pursue research in the field, in terms of travel to archives or conferences, although other costs related to research may be considered, such as registration fees, translation or help with acquiring illustrations for academic publications.

*Eligibility *

Applications will be accepted from postgraduate students and ECRs (within 5 years of receiving their PhD) attached to UK and Ireland higher education institutions.

*Level of grant and eligible costs *

Grants will normally range from £200 to £500 within available resources. The main criterion for an award will be the perceived academic value of the research for which funding is sought. Applicants will be expected to have planned their project well in advance and normally to have obtained primary funding from their university institution or other sources, which must be stated on the application.

*Deadlines
*There are two deadlines for applications to this funding: *1 June *and *1****December*. Decisions are made within one month of the deadline.

*Application procedure *
