The Society for Animation Studies announces a call for entries for the 2009 McLaren-Lambart Award for the Best Scholarly Book on Animation. Entries must be a book published in 2007 or 2008 that contributes to the field of animation studies. An author must be a current member of the SAS, and authors must nominate themselves by submitting their book either as a digital file or by having the book’s publisher provide 4 copies of the book for the selection committee. Digital files can be provided in the following formats: Microsoft Word doc, .pdf or .rtf’s. The deadline for submissions is August 31, 2009.
Entrants should provide contact information and a short summary (up to 300 words) of their book, including what they view as the significant contribution of the book to animation studies, and email that to tomklein@lmu.edu (Loyola Marymount University). Tom will then request the digital file or, if the entrant prefers to provide books, Tom will email the addresses to which the publisher must ship 4 books, one each to two locations in Europe, and one each to two locations in North America.
The recipient of the McLaren-Lambart Award will be announced by December 2009.
