£500 on offer to student book-collectors
Cambridge University Library is offering students the chance to win £500 by building their own book collections.
The Rose Book-Collecting Prize was endowed in 2006 and is believed to be the first of its kind offered by any European university. As well as the £500 prize money, the winner will be offered 10 years’ free membership of the Friends of Cambridge University Library.
The 2019 prize was awarded to Mathias Gjesdal Hammer (Human, Social and Political Sciences) for his collection of books on Contemporary Photobooks.
