<http://linguisticanthropology.org/about/prizes/>*, this award honors an
SLA member or members for work that effectively impacts public awareness of
social issues involving language and communication and/or represents a
significant service to a particular community outside of the academy.  Such
work may be in any medium including but not limited to books, reports,
exhibits, pedagogical materials/curricula, documentary films, newspaper or
magazine articles, blogs, digitized or broadcast media, and lectures.
Eligible work must have published, presented, or aired during the five
years immediately preceding the submission deadline.  A Selection Committee
appointed by the SLA President will consider all applications and may
request additional materials as needed. Awards will be announced at the
Annual SLA Business meeting.

1.     Applicants may self-nominate or be nominated.  Each nomination
should include a description of the work for which the nominee is being
considered, providing the details, extent, and scope of the project, in a
statement of at least 500 words.  Please also include, whenever possible,
evidence of impact (such as the effectiveness of a public outreach project)
or testimonials to community service by community members (2-3 pages
suggested length).



2.     To facilitate the process, please submit all application materials
in the form of PDF files and make sure that key materials submitted in
other languages are translated into or summarized in English to facilitate
their optimal evaluation.



3.    Since an individual’s representative work is eligible for five years,
this evidence of accomplishment, with any relevant updates, may be
considered in more than one annual award cycle.  This means that applicants
who have been unsuccessful in a given cycle may reapply based on the same
materials so long as they do so within the five-year eligibility window; we
also ask that if necessary their application be reformatted as per 1 and 2
above.



4.     Send nominations or inquiries to asifagha at sas.upenn.edu
