[Neil Bermel]

IATC-November Fund Book Prize

 

The International Association of Teachers of Czech, in collaboration with
the charitable foundation The November Fund, are pleased to announce our
first yearly prize for a work in Czech studies.  The criteria for submission
are:

 

- Scholarly and popular works in Czech literary, linguistic, pedagogical or
cultural studies are eligible, as are works where Czech comprises a
significant portion of the topic (i.e. in comparison with one or two other
language communities);

- Publication in either 2004 or 2005;

- Electronic works published by recognized publishers are eligible;

- Self-published works and websites are not eligible;

- The work must constitute a complete publication (i.e. not an article or
chapter of a volume);

- The prize will alternate between works published in Czech and works
published in other languages.  In the first year, we will award a prize to a
work published in Czech.  (The 2007 prize will be awarded to a work
published in another language.)

- Membership in IATC is not required for entry;

- Authors and publishers can nominate their own works, or works can be
nominated by IATC members in good standing. 

 

The prize will be in the amount of $400 US, and will be announced in
December 2006.  The deadline for submission of entries is 31 July 2006.  All
submissions for consideration (to include a copy of the work and a cover
letter giving biographical details of the author(s)) should be sent to:
