Tom-Gallon Trust Award
The Tom-Gallon Trust Award is an annual award of £1,000 for a short story, financed by a bequest made by Nellie Tom-Gallon in memory of her brother, playwright and novelist Tom Gallon (1866–1914). The story should be traditional, not experimental, in character. The award is administered by the Society of Authors.[1]
