This year’s competition is open to graduate students as well as to recent post-doctoral students who earned a PhD no earlier than 2017.
The prize is offered to a graduate student or recent PhD working in any discipline whose paper is judged to provide the most significant contribution to the disciplines of Art History and Middle East Studies. Submissions must have been produced between June 2017 – December 2019, must not exceed 35 pages (excluding notes and bibliography), and must not have been previously published or be currently under consideration for publication.
Submissions are due to info@amcainternational.org by December 15, 2019.
