Bangkok--Nov 14--The British Council
The British Council, in co-operation with the Publishers’ and Booksellers’ Association of Thailand (PUBAT), invites Thai publishers aged between 25 and 35 who are deemed to be potential future leaders of the sector in Thailand to participate in the International Young Thai Publisher of the Year Award 2006. The winner will represent Thailand along with nine other candidates from other countries on an all-expenses-paid trip to experience a week-long UK tour of the national publishing industry, culminating at the London Book Fair.
The winner will then go on to compete to be an ‘International Young Publisher of the Year 2006’ and receive a financial award (we anticipate this to be ?7,500), which will be linked to the UK and tailored to the winner’s specific needs. The winner will be encouraged to come up with her /his own proposal and a free stand at the London Book Fair in 2006.
Application form can be downloaded from www.britishcouncil.or.th or at the British Council, Siam Square and all the application forms needed to be handed in to British Council offices by 2 December 2005.
