Carol Gay Award Submissions for the 2008 Carol Gay Award are now being accepted for outstanding papers on children's literature by undergraduate students. Nominations should be submitted on behalf of an undergraduate student by a member of ChLA and must be accompanied by a cover letter by that member. Please include both the member's and the student's email and street addresses with submissions. Papers must be original and show evidence of scholarly research and include a bibliography with more than the primary works included. They should conform to MLA style and should be no fewer than 8 pages and no more than 15 pages including notes and works cited. Senior theses are not eligible. Award winners will receive a $100 prize, a certificate, and a complimentary year's membership to the Association. The recipient is also offered the opportunity to present the winning essay during a session at the annual ChLA conference and to receive his/her award during the awards banquet. If the winner attends the conference, a complimentary banquet ticket is also awarded, and conference registration is waived. Only two submissions per ChLA member will be accepted. The deadline is February 1, 2009 for a paper written during 2008.
