Want $1000?

Want $1000?
Then enter your research paper or project into competition for the Libraries' Durden Prize or Middlesworth Award.

Undergraduates who make exceptional use of library collections (yep, articles that you get online through the Libraries website count!) are eligible for the Durden Prize.

Undergraduates OR graduate students who incorporate materials from the Rare Books, Manuscript and Special Collections Library into their research are invited to submit papers for consideration for the Middlesworth Award.

All winners will be recognized at a reception at Parents and Family Weekend 2010 and will receive $1000.

Submissions for both awards are due to the library by 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, May 15.

Note: Both awards require a faculty member's signature, and the Durden Prize requires a short essay on your research process, so you may not want to wait till May 15 to decide to apply!
