The annual NAVSA Graduate Award recognizes the best paper submitted by a graduate student for the annual NAVSA conference. Graduate students whose proposals have been accepted for the conference may submit their papers to the Conference Committee by September 8 for the competition.
The process for submissions has changed:
Submit two hard copies of your essay along with a cover sheet containing the following information
- your name
- rank/position and institution
- the title of the paper
- snail mail and email address
- phone
- the name and address of your dissertation director and/or the professor who assisted with this paper
to the following address:
Melissa Valiska Gregory
Department of English
Mail Stop 925
University of Toledo
Toledo, Ohio 43620
Please contact melissa.gregory@utoledo.edu if you have any further questions.
The winning paper will be selected according to the same criteria as the Gray Award: 1) Potential significance for Victorian studies; 2) Quality and depth of scholarly research and interpretation; 3) Clarity and effectiveness of presentation. The judges will choose one essay for the award and may also choose two honorary runners-up. A decision will be made by the time of the Winter newsletter. The Award winner will receive $250 and a year's free NAVSA membership (including a subcription to Victorian Studies). If the judges are deadlocked, the final decision will be made by the NAVSA Executive Committee.
