Naomi Schor Memorial Award

The Naomi Schor Memorial award recognizes the best essay by a graduate student making a presentation at the annual meeting of the Nineteenth-Century French Studies Colloquium. Graduate students wishing to be considered for the award must send a complete version of their talk as an RTF (Rich Text Format) attachment to Professor Corry Cropper at cropper[at]byu.edu by 5:00 p.m. Central time on October 1 of each year. This should be the final version of the paper that will be read. Submissions may be in English or in French, however, those over the standard length (8-10 pages, double-spaced) will not be considered. The awards committee will evaluate the papers and the award will be announced at the Colloquium Banquet.
