*SLA Award for Public Outreach and Community Service –Call for Nominations*

The Selection Committee is pleased to be able to call for nominations for
the *SLA award for Public Outreach and Community Service. *

The submission deadline is *November 6, 2015.*

Created and awarded for the first time by the SLA in 2014
<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.
Applicants may self-nominate or consent to the nomination of others.

Works in any medium are eligible, including but not limited to books,
reports, exhibits, pedagogical materials/curricula, documentary films,
newspaper or magazine articles, blogs, digitized or broadcast media, and
lectures. To be considered, individuals must have published, presented, or
aired some representative work during the five years immediately preceding
the submission deadline.

Each nomination should contain four components:

*1*  The candidate’s concise description of the goals and purpose of the
work (in no more than 250 words).

*2*  A copy or statement of the work for which the nominee is being
considered for this SLA Award.

*3*  Relevant supporting materials as evidence of increased public
awareness or performance of community service. Forms of evidence may
include newspaper articles, public notices, online publishing and
dissemination, letters of commendation, program development, and so forth.

*4* Two letters of support; one from an academic colleague and one from
outside the academy.

Four copies and/or a digital version of all materials are required and
should be sent to the address below. A Selection Committee, appointed by
the SLA President, will consider the applications and designate (an)
awardee(s) who will be announced at the Annual Business meeting. The
Selection Committee may choose to make one or two awards, or none, in any
given year. Note that because an individual’s representative work is
eligible for five years, this evidence of accomplishment, with any relevant
updates, could be considered in more than one annual award cycle.
