The Ticknor Society in Boston will begin accepting submissions starting March 1, 2024 for the
Sixth Annual George and Anna Eliot Ticknor Book and Book Culture Collecting Prize, which was
created to encourage and recognize those in New England who have been inspired to compile,
curate, and own a book collection. The Prize awards $1000 to a collector of books, manuscripts,
and/or ephemera who resides in one of the six New England states of Connecticut,
Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont. The award also includes
an invitation to speak about the winning collection to The Ticknor Society and a complimentary
one-year Ticknor Society membership. All other entrants will receive a complimentary year of
membership in the Ticknor Society.
New in 2024: We now welcome submissions from collectors residing outside of New England
whose collections focus primarily on books, manuscripts, and ephemera pertaining to New
England from any period of its history.
Submissions can be emailed starting March 1, 2024. The deadline is April 15, 2024. If you have
entered the competition previously, we encourage you to reapply with the same or a different
submission. Learn more about our organization, the Prize, and how to enter

Everyone is invited to join our “Book Collector Roundtable” zooms on February 21 and March
20, both at 7 – 9 pm ET. We will share our plans and advice for preparing our submissions for
the competition, plus show and tell about our collections. Register on
