[Nicholas A Pavlik]

Call for Submissions: 2023 Local History Publication Awards

 

The Center for Archival Collections is accepting submissions for its 2023 Local History Publication Awards. Works published between January 1, 2023 and December 31, 2023 will be accepted.



There are two categories for the awards: the Article category recognizes articles, essays, and long-form blog posts in both print and electronic formats, while the Book category recognizes books published in both print and electronic formats. Both categories award authors in Professional and Independent divisions. The Professional Division includes works prepared and submitted by authors who exclusively or primarily make their living as a scholar and/or writer. The Independent Division includes works prepared and submitted by independent or local researchers, amateurs, and others who do not claim history or writing 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 and 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 February 29, 2024 and fill out our online submission form<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScURfIzsgQLFaxfjfaOSaJ2lZyBhIFf5SfRxxOY9isUPLKhYA/viewform>. All works submitted become the property of the CAC.
