2010 OAH LOUIS PELZER MEMORIAL AWARD
The Louis Pelzer Memorial Award Committee of the Organization of American Historians invites candidates for graduate degrees to submit essays for the Louis Pelzer Memorial Award competition. Essays may deal with any period or topic in the history of the United States. The winning essay will be published in The Journal of American History.
Essays should not exceed 7,000 words (including endnotes). The electronic version of the essay should be sent to jahms@indiana.edu with "2010 Louis Pelzer Memorial Award Entry" noted in the subject line, and one hard copy should be submitted to the address below. The endnotes should be triple-spaced. Because manuscripts are judged anonymously, the author's name and graduate program should appear only on a separate cover page.
Significance of the subject matter, literary craftsmanship and competence in the handling of evidence are some of the factors that will be considered in judging the essays. The deadline for submitting an essay for consideration is November 30, 2009. Manuscripts should be clearly labeled "2010 Louis Pelzer Memorial Award Entry" and addressed to:
Edward T. Linenthal, Editor, The Journal of American History (Committee Chair)
Louis Pelzer Memorial Award Committee
1215 East Atwater Avenue
Bloomington, IN 47401
The winner will be notified by the organization after February 1, 2010.
