The annual Kafka Undergraduate Essay Prize competition has been run by the Oxford Kafka Research Centre since 2024 and is generously funded by Wadham College alumnus Nigel Jones. The competition is open to students who are currently enrolled in a course of German (single honours or with another subject) at a university in the UK. All entries are reviewed anonymously by a panel of judges based at the Oxford Kafka Research Centre. There is a different theme every year and the winning essays can be found below.
