The Monica Wilson Prize was introduced in 2009 to commemorate the contribution of Monica Wilson to Anthropology. The prize is awarded to the best student essay submitted by a postgraduate student as a paper at the annual Anthropology Southern Africa conference. The prize-winning essay is selected based on the work that best addresses the theme of the annual conference or excellently exemplifies the spirit of discovery in ethnographic work. The winner is announced at the annual ASnA conference dinner and receives a monetary prize and publication in the ASnA Journal.
