The Jack Marsh History Prize has been established by the Sydney Cricket and Sports Ground Trust to promote original scholarly research and interpretation of the history of Trust lands. The Prize is part of the Trust’s enduring efforts to know, celebrate and preserve its heritage and chronicle its physical, cultural and sporting history. It has been made possible by a financial donation by friends of the Trust. To encourage curiosity-driven historical research, the topics to be considered for the award of the Jack Marsh History Prize are not specified. Topics could include any aspect of the social, economic, political and sporting history of the lands formerly or currently under the control of the Trust. The focus of works submitted could include, but is not limited to work covering:
The prize-winner will receive a cash prize of $5,000, and an Honorary SCG Membership until September 2012. The Trust’s History Prize takes its name from Jack Marsh, a Bundjalung man. He was born at Yulgilbar on the Clarence River in northern New South Wales around 1874. His initial sporting talent was in professional athletics. In 1894 it was reported that he ran the hundred yards in 9.8 seconds, equalling the world record and becoming the fastest man in Australia. Three years later a cricket official saw him throwing a boomerang at La Perouse and recruited him as a fast bowler. The closing date for entries is 30 June 2010. Please go to the Jack Marsh History Prize section on the SCG Trust website to download guidelines and the official entry form.
