• A description of the project (maximum 500 words) that includes discussion of its objectives, its significance, and the diverse publics it has engaged.
• Documentation that demonstrates the importance, impact, and reach of the nominated project in terms best suited to its domain.

Selection shall be made by an ad hoc committee of three, whose chair is chosen annually by the Trustees of the SAA.

This year’s committee consists of Peter Kirwan (Mary Baldwin University, chair), Amrita Dhar (Ohio State University), and Sharon O’Dair (University of Alabama). Enquiries about the award can be addressed to the chair at [email protected].
