Mary Elizabeth “Betsy” Perry Graduate Student Digital Project Prize

The Mary Elizabeth “Betsy” Perry Graduate Student Conference Digital Project Prize recognizes an outstanding scholarly poster, website, or other outward-facing digital project presented by a graduate student at the annual WAWH conference. All fields of history will be considered. Current WAWH board members are not eligible for the prize. Graduate student poster presenters must be present and available to interact with observers during the poster session. Posters will be judged on content, clarity, and effectiveness of overall presentation. Conference attendees will cast their votes by secret ballot.

All submissions accepted for the digital session will be considered for the $100 prize, provided the graduate student is a current member of WAWH at the time of the conference, and is present at the digital project session. No application is required.

WAWH is working to re-endow its awards and prizes. Please consider a donation, of any amount, to support any of our eight awards and prizes. Donate now!
