The Sidney Prizes are literary awards presented to students of the university of Sydney. These prizes are awarded based on submission of written work covering a range of topics that is then judged by a panel of judges before winners are announced. Each literary prize at Sydney has different requirements; these typically include writing an essay under pseudonym with authors signing a copyright release form prior to submission.
The Sidney Prize is an annual undergraduate student award given out at university. It recognizes written work that stands out and the judges consider excellent; its winner receives a cash prize of $500 along with an official certificate from their college.
This award, named in honour of one of our former faculty members, recognizes an undergraduate student demonstrating academic merit and strong adherence to high ideals. They must also show an independent mind with an enthusiasm for learning – it truly represents one of the finest scholarships available! This scholarship should not be passed up!

On two separate occasions, the Foundation found itself embroiled in controversy surrounding its links to leftist activists and celebrities. Helen Andrews received the inaugural prize, presented by First Things magazine for her 2010 essay entitled “Shame Storm: A Revelation of Modern Internet Violentism” published in First Things which revealed the online hysteria and viciousness associated with conservative websites.
