Graham Greene
Entries can now be submitted for the Graham Greene Film Review Competition for which the winner will receive a prize of £500. Although Graham Greene’s work as a film reviewer, particularly in the 1930s, provides the inspiration for the prize, entrants are not expected to try to submit a review in the style of Greene. If you decide to enter it should be your own work, your own style and, of course, your choice of film. Good luck!
