Writing Awards
GRADUATE STUDENT PAPER AWARDS
ASLE will once again honor the best work of graduate students with two awards for presentations made at its 2021 virtual conference. The awards will be announced prior to the conference.
• Two awardees will be chosen from the submissions of eligible work.
• Both scholarly papers in ecocriticism and environmental creative writing (any genre) by a graduate student presented at the conference are eligible for the awards.
• Those submitting papers must be presenting at the conference, be members of ASLE or an international affiliate, and should have been enrolled as a graduate student at some time within the previous seven months.
• Both awards include a prize of $100 and publication in ISLE: Interdisciplinary Studies in Literature and Environment.
NOTE: The paper that is submitted for the awards must be essentially the same as your presentation at the conference. Submissions longer than 12 double-spaced pages (works cited excluded) will not be accepted.
Deadline for submissions: June 22, 2021

Accessibility and Sustainability
While a virtual conference has no shared physical space, accessibility needs and concerns are still a priority and will arise. We will be sending presenters some guidelines and advice on making their presentations accessible to a wide audience, and will post those here when ready.
