THE ANGLO-HELLENIC LEAGUE
THE KATIE LENTAKIS MEMORIAL FUND AWARD
2017
The annual Katie Lentakis Memorial Fund Award was established by the Anglo-Hellenic
League in memory of the late Mrs Katie Lentakis, and was first awarded in 2002. Katie
Lentakis (1920-2000) was a devoted member of the Anglo-Greek community of London for
many years and Vice-Chairman of the Anglo-Hellenic League, who loved music and art and had helped British soldiers to escape in Greece during World War II.
The Award is made to a final-year undergraduate studying in the Faculty of Arts &
Humanities at King’s College London who submits an essay of 7,000-10,000 words on a
topic related to any field of Hellenic Studies.
The essay, which may be work submitted for regular course assessment, should show
excellence in knowledge and presentation of relevant material, and some originality of
thought. It should be submitted in one clean hard copy to the Classics office (B3, North
Wing, Strand Campus) by 16.00 on Friday 12 May 2017. An identical electronic copy
should be sent by the same deadline to [email protected] as an attachment, with the words
‘Lentakis submission’ in the header line.
A committee of experts established by the Director of the Centre for Hellenic Studies will
choose the recipient of the Award.
The Award, which may be divided between more than one winner, will be of the value of
£500.
The winner(s) will be expected to be present in person to receive the award at a reception
beginning at 6 pm on Tuesday 13 June 2017, and should be prepared to say a few words
about the essay.
