Global Outlook Digital Humanities, The University of Lethbridge, and
The Alliance of Digital Humanities Organisations is pleased to announce
the first Global Digital Humanities Essay Competition.
http://www.globaloutlookdh.org/global-outlookdigital-humanities-global-digital-humanities-essay-prize/
This is an open competition for research papers on the national,
regional, or international practice of the Digital Humanities–a broad
topic that has been designed to give authors the greatest possible
scope. Authors may write on individual projects or problems or broader
philosophical, geographical, sociological, political, or other aspects
of the practice of Digital Humanities in a global context. Papers
discussing the practice of DH by or with marginalised communities or in
areas that are currently less well represented by ADHO are particularly
welcome.
The competition is open to any interested party including students,
graduate students, junior faculty, and researchers unaffiliated with a
university or research institution. We would like to especially
encourage submissions from students, junior and unaffiliated
researchers, and authors belonging to marginalised communities or
communities currently less well represented by ADHO.
The competition is offering a minimum of 4 prizes of $500 (CAD) each.
Initial selection (for a prize of $200) is by abstract/proposal. A
further $300 will be awarded to the authors of the winning abstracts
upon satisfactory completion of a full-length paper based on their
original proposal. All submissions will be eligible for review and
publication in the ADHO journal, Digital Studies/Le champ numérique
(http://digitalstudies.org/).
For further information about the competition, please see the
competition web page:
