GUIDELINES

The prize is open to all graduate students engaged in study at a college or university after their first degree and having not yet completed their doctorate.

Those entering can choose their own topic; however, as with articles already published on History Compass, submitted essays should have a survey element, putting the chosen topic in context for the non-specialist. The incorporation of advanced graduate work is strongly encouraged.

The upper word limit is 5000 words, INCLUDING endnotes and bibliography.

History Compass Graduate Essays should be submitted by email as a Word document to:
HICOeditorial@oxon.blackwellpublishing.com.

Graduates must specify:

- which section they are entering their essay for
- provide the details of their affiliation
- provide their supervisor's name and email address

Only one entry per person.

Winners will be announced at the 2008 AHA conference.
