NAVSA is now seeking nominations for the Donald Gray Prize
for best essay published in the field of Victorian Studies. The prize carries
with it an award of $500 and will be awarded to essays that appeared in print
or online in journals from the previous calendar year. Essays may be on any
topic related to the study of Victorian Britain. Note that the actual date of
appearance trumps the date given on the issue itself since it's common for
journals to lag behind official issue dates. (The prize is limited to journal
essays; those published in essay collections are not eligible.) The winner will
also receive complementary registration at the NAVSA conference at which his or
her award will be announced. Anyone, regardless of NAVSA membership status, is
free to nominate an essay that appeared in print between 1 January 2012 and 31
December 2012. Nominations will also be solicited from the Advisory Board of
NAVSA and the prize committee judges; self-nominated essays are equally
welcome. Authors may be from any country and of any institutional standing.
To nominate an essay, please submit by Monday, 20 May 2013: (1) a
brief cover sheet with complete address and email information for both the
essay's nominator and its author, and (2) a digital copy of the essay (in .rtf,
.doc, .docx, or .pdf) to the Executive Secretary of NAVSA, Deborah Denenholz
Morse, at the following e-mail address: ddmors@wm.edu
