The Society for Animation Studies is now accepting essays pertaining
to animation that were published in 2008 or 2009. Submitted work must
be entered by the author himself/herself, and the author must have
membership in the S.A.S. for this current year, 2010. An author
should limit submitted work to a single published essay that best
represents his/her scholarship during this period.
The Society will consider submissions in any language. If a version
or a translation of an author’s essay is available in English, this is
preferred by the selection committee. Efforts will be made to
evaluate an essay in other languages, but only English-language works
are guaranteed consideration. Published animation essays must be
submitted in one of these digital formats: a Microsoft Word document
(.doc or .docx), Rich Text Format (.rtf), or as an Acrobat Reader file
(.pdf). The essay should be attached via email and sent to tomklein@lmu.edu
before September 18. Essays sent after Sept. 18 will not be eligible.
When the email and attached essay are received, a reply will be sent
to the author by Tom Klein on behalf of the selection committee to
confirm that your essay has been received and will be evaluated for
the S.A.S. award. Be sure to include your name, title of the essay,
and refer us to where your essay was published, as well as the date of
publication. There is no professional or academic affiliation
required for consideration. The committee will not re-publish or
distribute the essays received.
By Fall 2010, the selection committee will choose one of the essays to
receive the S.A.S. award. This award, acknowledging exemplary work in
our field, will be publicized in press releases, on the S.A.S.
website, and also within the S.A.S. Newsletter.
