<span class="elementToProof">The Edward Sapir Book Prize, established in 2001, is a prize awarded to a book that makes a significant contribution to our understanding of language in society, or the ways in which language mediates historical or contemporary
sociocultural processes. The Sapir Prize will be awarded in 2026 and will cover books published between January 1, 2024 and December 31, 2025.</span></div>

<span class="elementToProof">The SLA invites books with conceptual and theoretical focus, as well as ethnographic and descriptive works. Single- or multi-author books — but not edited collections — are eligible. Books must be written in English and have been
published between the dates listed for the relevant prize. Any given book is eligible in only one biennial round of competition. The same book cannot be submitted to both the Sapir Prize and the New Voices book prize competitions. Authors must be members of
the SLA at the time of submission.</span></div>
