||
| Home | The Louis Pelzer Memorial Award Committee of the Organization of American Historians invites candidates for graduate degrees to submit essays for the Louis Pelzer Memorial Award competition. Essays may deal with any period or topic in the history of the United States. The winning essay will be published in The Journal of American History. Essays should not exceed 9,000 words maximum (including endnotes). The electronic version of the essay should be sent to < jahms@indiana.edu > with "2011 Louis Pelzer Memorial Award Entry" noted in the subject line, and one hard copy should be submitted to the address below. The endnotes should be triple-spaced. Because manuscripts are judged anonymously, the author's name and graduate program should appear only on a separate cover page. The winning essay will be published in a subsequent issue of The Journal of American History. Significance of the subject matter, literary craftsmanship and competence in the handling of evidence are some of the factors that will be considered in judging the essays. The deadline for submitting an essay for consideration is November 30, 2010. Please note that it is the policy of the OAH to honor those applicants who have submitted their applications on or before the stated deadline date. Applications which are not received by close of business on the deadline date will not be considered. Manuscripts should be clearly labeled "2011 Louis Pelzer Memorial Award Entry" and addressed to: Edward T. Linenthal, Executive Editor, Organization of American Historians The winner receives $500 and will be notified by the Organization after February 1, 2011.
