    Dear All,

    As you may know the LAGB runs a competition this year for the the Anna Siewierska Prize 2013 for the best essay by a student or recent graduate on a topic in linguistics. I wanted to remind you of the fact that the deadline is approaching fast. Essays must be submitted 1 November 2013. If any of your students have done brilliant work, please encourage them to submit.

    Here are the rules:

    Entrants must be both:
    (a) current PhD students or recent graduates within one year of the award of their PhD (viva date) on the submission deadline; and
    (b) members of the Association (an application for membership may be included with the submission).

    Essays should be submitted to the Ad Neeleman (a.neeleman@ucl.ac.uk), by the closing date, 1 November 2013. Entrants should also state their current course (including university and name of supervisor), and, in the case of recent graduates, the date of their PhD viva).

    Submissions must be written in English and must not have been previously published. They should not exceed 10,000 words, including tables, figures, notes, appendices, references, etc., and may be shorter. Jointly authored submissions are acceptable, provided that all authors meet the criteria above.

    The value of the prize is £500. Where there is more than one winner, it will be shared equally between the winners. The committee reserves the right not to award the prize if it feels that none of the submissions reach the necessary standard.

    The winning entry will be posted on the LAGB’s website and will be forwarded by the committee with their endorsement to the Journal of Linguistics. However, no guarantee of publication in the Journal of Linguistics can be given, and the winning submission will be subject to the journal’s normal reviewing procedures.

    With kind regards,
