Norman McLaren/Evelyn Lambart Award-Best Scholarly Article in Animation
The Norman McLaren/Evelyn Lambart Award-Best Scholarly Article in Animation has, historically, been awarded on an ad-hoc basis, on alternate years to the Book Award. Like the Book Award, to celebrate the re-launch of the website in 2016 the Society took the decision to mark this occasion by retrospectively bestowing the award for those years, in the awarding sequence, where no judging had been administered. The retrospective awards were decided by SAS member ballot conducted via the SAS mailing list. Retrospectively awarded winners are denoted with an asterisk.
