NAVSA is now seeking nominations for the Donald Gray Prize for best essay
published in the field of Victorian Studies. The prize carries with it an
award of $1000 and will be awarded to essays that appeared in print in
journals from the previous calendar year on any topic related to the study
of Victorian Britain. (The prize is limited to journal essays; those
published in essay collections are not eligible.) The winner will also
receive complementary registration at the NAVSA conference at which his or
her award will be announced.

Anyone, regardless of NAVSA membership status, is free to nominate an
essay that appeared in print between 1 January 2006 and 31 December 2006.
Nominations will also be solicited from the Advisory Board of NAVSA and
the prize committee judges. Self-nominated essays are equally welcome.
Authors may be from any country and of any institutional standing.

To nominate an essay, please submit by Wednesday, 16 May 2007 (that's a
receipt deadline, not a postmark deadline): (1) a brief cover sheet with
complete address and email information for both the essay's nominator and
its author, and (2) four hard copies of the essay to the Executive
Secretary of NAVSA at the following address:
