The Society for Animation Studies is now accepting essays pertaining to animation that were published in 2006 or 2007. Submitted work must be entered by the author himself/herself, and the author must have membership in the Society for Animation Studies for this current year, 2008. 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), Rich Text Format (.rtf), or as an Acrobat Reader file (.pdf). The essay should be attached via email and sent totomklein@lmu.edu by February 28, 2008. Essays sent after February 28th 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 the essay will be evaluated for the S.A.S. award. Be sure to include your name and the title of the essay, and full publication details, including date of publication. The committee will not re-publish or distribute the essays received.
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.
