Calibre Essay Prize
Jeanette Mrozinski – an MFA candidate in non-fiction at Washington University in St Louis – has won the 2025 Calibre Essay Prize. Her essay, ‘Eucharist’, is the propulsive story of a bureaucrat and part-time sex worker chasing down life-saving medication and of the nameless saints who come to her aid. Ms Mrozinski becomes the first American to win the Calibre Prize, now in its nineteenth year and long established as one of the world’s leading prizes for an unpublished essay.
