Carus Greek Testament Prizes

The Carus Greek Testament Prizes are two annual prizes (one for undergraduates, one for graduate students) awarded at Cambridge University in England.

Candidates are given a passage in Greek from the New Testament and asked to both translate and interpret it; a board of examiners then judges the papers.

[1] Prize money was originally donated by friends of a Rev.

William Carus, a Fellow of Trinity College, and was accepted by the university in 1853.

The prize is still announced annually, but has not been awarded in recent years due to a lack of candidates.
