2017 Paper Competition

For the third consecutive year, we are excited to announce our Distinguished Paper Competition for this year's conference. All panel participants are eligible to submit papers for the competition, and two winners will be selected: one from among our visiting scholars and one winner from among IU graduate students. Each winner will receive a $25 gift certificate to Barnes and Noble—and, of course, be able to add an impressive CV line in the "Awards" section.

To be considered for this award you must submit a full copy of your presentation to the conference committee (iugradconference [at] gmail [dot] com) by Friday, March 10 at 8:00PM.

Your email submission for the competition must include:

1. the title of your paper

2. a copy of your original abstract submission
3. an attached copy of your completed presentation (Word or PDF format)

The GSAC Conference Committee will select winners from among the submissions. Winners will be featured in the conference program, and awards will be presented during lunch on Saturday, March 25. 

Please email us with any questions regarding the paper competition. We hope you'll consider submitting and look forward to reading your presentation!
