Elli Köngäs-Maranda Student Prize
Call for Submissions

Awarded by the Women’s Section, American Folklore Society 

Each year, the Women’s Section of the American Folklore Society awards two prizes in honor of folklorist Elli Köngäs-Maranda. These prizes recognize exemplary or innovative work on women’s traditional, vernacular, or local culture and/or on feminist theory and folklore.  One prize is awarded to an undergraduate or graduate student paper (up to 30 pages in length) and carries an award of $100.  Awards will be announced at the meeting of the Women’s Section during the October 2007 joint meeting of American Folklore Society and the Folklore Studies Association of Canada in Quebec.  Prize recipients need not be members of the AFS. 

The submission deadline for the student prize is September 15.  Student prize entrants must either be currently enrolled in a degree program as of the submission deadline or have been enrolled within the previous academic year.  Student papers may be submitted as paper copy or email attachment.
