Society for Linguistic Anthropology 2018 Undergraduate Student Essay Contest
Deadline:   June 30, 2018

Calling all linguistic anthropology undergraduates!
Do you have a stellar research paper that you would like to share with the
wider professional community of linguistic anthropologists?
Submit to SLA’s Annual Student Essay Contest!

Every year the Society for Linguistic Anthropology (SLA) confers an award
for a distinguished undergraduate research paper.  Selected winner will be
awarded $500, a certificate of accomplishment, and a $300 travel grant to
the AAA Annual Meeting in Washington DC, November 14 – 18, 2018.  In
addition, the winning essay will be considered for publication in our
signature journal, Journal of Linguistic Anthropology.  Essays will be
judged on the basis of research contributions to the field of linguistic
anthropology, clarity, organization, and engagement with existing
scholarship.  If this sounds like a paper you have, and it has been written
within the last two years, and has not previously been published, then
considering submitting your essay to the SLA contest.

Specific guidelines are below:

   - Submit an original sole-author work based on your own research while
   in an undergraduate degree-granting program.
   - Submissions must be submitted no more than 2 years since they were
   written.
   - Submissions cannot be previously published or currently under
   review/submitted for publication elsewhere.
   - Students may only win this award and recognition once. Past winners
   and honorable mentions may not submit revised papers or new papers for
   consideration.
   - Submit one document only.
   - Maximum 25 double-spaced pages [citations inclusive]
