[Igor Nemirovsky]

Dear Colleagues,  

On behalf of the Mikhail Prokhorov Foundation and Academic Studies Press, I am happy to announce a new annual award: The Historia Nova Prize for the Best Book on Russian Intellectual History.  

The jury of the 2012 competition includes Nancy Condee (University of Pittsburgh), Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht (Stanford University), Irina Prokhorova (Director of Novoe Literaturnoe Obozrenie Publishing house), Oliver Ready (University of Oxford, TLS), and Andrei Zorin (University of Oxford). The jury will consider titles originally written and published in English within the preceding three years (2009, 2010, and 2011.) The range of acceptable genres includes single and collective-author monographs, collections of articles, and special and thematic issues of scholarly journals.

We encourage nominations from publishers, literary agencies, universities and university departments, journals, scholarly organizations, artistic unions, and groups. The winner will be announced in November 2012 during the ASEEES conference in New Orleans, and will receive a prize of $5,000 USD. 

Please make all nominations by June 15, to the email address historianova at academicstudiespress.com. 

Sincerely,
Igor Nemirovsky
Chair of the Organizing committee
