Carol Gay Award

Submissions for the 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.) 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 be at least 7-10 pages in length. Senior theses are not eligible.

Only two submissions per ChLA member will be accepted. The winning paper is traditionally presented at the ChLA annual conference; presenters must be members of ChLA at the time of presentation
