All essays published in SAR from authors who have been SAMLA members for at least one year prior to publication are considered.
Each year, the SAR Essay Prize Committee reviews the entirety of the previous volume and selects one essay to recognize for exceptional scholarship and contribution to the journal.
The author(s) of the winning essay receive(s) an honorarium of $500. Acceptance of the award and honorarium in-person at our annual conference is expected.
