INTRODUCING THE STOWE PRIZE EVENT SERIES
We are delighted to share that the work of Mr. Everett, and all our Stowe Prize winners, will now be a part of the work we do all year round. In September 2024, the Stowe Center launched a new Stowe Prize event series that explores the topic of the selected book from September of that year until the following Stowe Prize celebration. Supporters of the 2025 Stowe Prize will be recognized as sponsors of that series in addition to the reception and public program.
