The Arab British Centre Presents THE ARAB BRITISH CENTRE AWARD FOR CULTURE 2013 Applications Now Open (Deadline 12 July 2013) Applications for The Arab British Centre Award For Culture 2013 are officially open! The Award celebrates an individual who has made the most constructive contribution to British understanding of Arab culture in the past two years. The prize is open to individuals working in any field. In addition to the £2,500 prize money, The Arab British Centre is able to provide the winner with opportunities to promote his or her work more widely. Applications are welcome directly from individuals that wish to be considered for the award.  The Award for Culture 2013 is a successor to the Arab British Culture & Society Award, which ran for four years between 2008 & 2011 and celebrated organisations which had made a considerable impact on the British public’s understanding of the life, society and culture of the Arab world. Winners of that prize were Al Saqi Books, Zaytoun, Liverpool Arabic Arts Festival and Al Jazeera English. The winner of the 2013 prize will be chosen by a panel of distinguished experts with knowledge of the cultures of the Arab World and the United Kingdom. We are delighted to announce Baroness Helena Kennedy QC returning as Chair of this year’s panel. Baroness Kennedy has served as Chair of the British Council, Chair of the London International Festival of Theatre, and is a Trustee of the British Museum and the Booker Prize. The other panellists are: Maxime Duda, CEO and Founder of Arab New Trends; Rose Issa, a curator, writer and publisher who for the last 30 years has been promoting contemporary art and films from the Arab world and Iran; Deborah Shaw, Associate Director of the Royal Shakespeare Company and Director of the World Shakespeare Festival 2012, and Brian Whitaker, journalist and former Middle East Editor of the Guardian newspaper.
