Request for Nominations for 2008 AAUS Prizes

The American Association for Ukrainian Studies (AAUS) solicits entries 
for the Best Book, Best Article and Best Translation Prize competition 
for 2008. The prize in each category will be awarded to the author of an 
outstanding book, article, or translation that was published in 2008 in 
the fields of Ukrainian history, politics, language, literature, and 
culture. Monographs and edited volumes that address issues in Ukrainian 
studies are both welcome.

To enter the competition, please send your nomination and a copy of the 
nominated work directly to the Chair(s) of the respective committee (see 
below). Self-nominations are acceptable. It is recommended that 
nominations be accompanied by a brief statement explaining how the 
nominated work contributes to the field of Ukrainian studies. Only works 
that have not been considered in the previous competitions for earlier 
AAUS prizes are acceptable. Authors of each work submitted for 
consideration must be members of the AAUS (for enrollment instructions, 
see http://www.ukrainianstudies.org/membership.htm).

Nominations should be submitted by May 31 in order to give the
committees adequate time, however, later nominations may be considered
at the discretion of the committee. Winners will be announced at the
November 2009 annual AAUS meeting that will take place during the 
American Association for the Advancement of Slavic Studies convention in 
Boston.
