The Center for Archival Collections<https://www.bgsu.edu/library/cac.html> at Bowling Green State University Libraries is seeking submissions for its 2021 Local History Publication Awards.  We’ve made some changes to the awards this year and we would appreciate your circulating this information to those who might be interested in participating.   Details are below and also available at https://www.bgsu.edu/library/cac/events-and-programs/local-history-publication-award.html.



Call for Submissions: 2021 Local History Publication Awards

 

The Center for Archival Collections is accepting submissions for the Local History Publication Awards. Works published between January 1, 2021 and December 31, 2021 will be accepted.



We are making a change for the 2021 Awards and adding an Article category. The Article category will recognize articles, essays, and blog posts in both print and electronic formats. The Book category will continue to recognize books published in both print and electronic formats. Both categories will award authors in Professional and Independent divisions. The Professional Division will include works prepared and submitted by authors who exclusively or primarily make their living as a scholar and/or writer. The Independent Division will include works prepared and submitted by independent or local researchers, amateurs, and other creative writers who do not claim history as a profession. Each Division winner will receive a $300.00 cash award and plaque. Please see our Guidelines for Submissions<https://www.bgsu.edu/library/cac/events-and-programs/local-history-publication-award/guidelines.html> for more information.



Eligible works must address an historical topic within the nineteen county region of northwest Ohio. Works shall be judged by the Awards Committee on: literary merit, overall significance and contribution to explaining and understanding the history of the region. Consideration also will be given for style and content. Other considerations will include grammar, accuracy, illustrations, layout, indexes, and distribution.



To submit a work, authors should send two copies to the Center for Archival Collections, 5th Floor, Wm. T. Jerome Library, Bowling Green State University, Bowling Green, Ohio 43403, postmarked by March 31, 2022 and fill out our online form<https://forms.gle/FfJ2kWK9YdrmwgiA8>. All works submitted become the property of the CAC.
