Rollins Prize Committee
The
Northeast Popular Culture/American Culture Association (NEPCA), a regional
chapter of both the American Culture Association (ACA) and the Popular Culture
Association (PCA), is pleased to announce again our NEPCA Book Award
competition. This annual prize will recognize the best scholarly monograph on
any popular culture or American culture topic published in the previous year
(in 2010) by an author who lives or works in New England or New York, or who
has done so in the past two years.
Each
publisher may nominate one book per year for this competition. Eligible books
will have been published in 2010 as original monographs representing the best
scholarship in this multidisciplinary field. The prize, a certificate of merit
and $200.00 stipend, will be awarded to the author at the annual Northeast
PCA/ACA conference at Western Connecticut State University on November 12,
2011.
Please
note: The following are ineligible for the Rollins Prize: edited volumes,
fiction, poetry, creative writing, anthologies, annotated collections, and new
editions of previously published work (unless substantially rewritten).
To
make a nomination, please mail one copy of the book (labeled clearly as 2010
NEPCA Rollins Book Award) to each member of the NEPCA Book Award Committee by
