university in North America.

Conditions:
Entries must be graduate essays no more than thirty-five, double-spaced,
typed pages in length in any discipline on a Slovak and/or Slovak-North

interpretive or historiographical efforts.  The author must be a part-time
or full-time graduate student in a degree program at an accredited North
American university or college.  The essay must have been written to meet
the requirements of a graduate credit course during the 2002-2003 academic

Adjudication:
Entries will be judged by an interdisciplinary panel of four distinguished
scholars.  The judges reserve the right to recommend that no prize be
awarded if none of the submitted essays for the year merits winning the
prize.  In the event of a tie by the four-judge committee, the president
of the Slovak Studies Association shall cast the deciding vote.  The
winner will be announced at the annual general meeting of the Slovak
Studies Association during the AAASS National Convention in November 2003
in Toronto.
