The CAS Undergraduate and Graduate Student Essay Contests for 2014

[Elena Baraban]

Colleagues,



The Canadian Association of Slavists Announces Its Undergraduate and Graduate Student Essay Contests for 2014



The Canadian Association of Slavists (CAS) offers two awards for the best students essays, one at the undergraduate, the other at the graduate level.

Papers completed in any discipline relating to the region of Central and Eastern Europe are eligible. Students participating in the contest must have been enrolled in a Canadian educational institution during the preceding academic year (Fall 2013-Winter 2014). Their essays may have been written in connection with course work, thesis or dissertation research, or for presentation at scholarly meetings, etc.

Only previously unpublished papers that are not under consideration by another journal are considered for the contest.

Submissions should be no longer than 35 pages, double-spaced. To facilitate blind assessment, they should be "anonymous" and bear no identifying references in the text. Each essay must be accompanied by a letter of nomination from a faculty member involved with the student's supervision. Complete submissions should be sent electronically to csp at ualberta.ca<mailto:csp at ualberta.ca>. The deadline is September 1, 2014.

While we encourage the electronic submissions whenever possible, they may also be mailed in hard copy provided they meet the same criteria of anonymity and are postmarked no later than September 1, 2014:

Undergraduate / Graduate Student Essay Contest
Canadian Slavonic Papers / Revue canadienne des slavistes
Department of History and Classics
2-28 Tory Building

The winners in the competition are announced during the following academic year in May. Each winner receives a one-year paid membership in the CAS, and winning submissions are considered for publication in the association's journal, Canadian Slavonic Papers.<http://www.ualberta.ca/~csp/index.html>

Faculty are encouraged to publicize this opportunity among their students and colleagues.
