Why choose?

The SOCIETY OF EARLY AMERICANISTS, ASECS’s Americanist affiliate, is pleased to announce our Sixth Annual Essay Competition.  If you are presenting a paper on an Americanist topic, broadly conceived, at ASECS or at an affiliate society’s 2003-004 conference, we invite you to consider entering.

By “Americanist topic, broadly conceived” we mean that the competition is open to papers that address America in terms of both the long and the wide (i.e., circumatlantic) eighteenth century.  Our panel of judges will see each entry through a simple system of blind reviewing;  your name goes only on the cover sheet, and we recommend that you rework any self-citation, either in the body or in notes, to third person.  Note that we accept revised papers and that the maximum length for an entry is 6,000 words.

Won’t you join us?
For details on becoming a member of our interdisciplinary organization, please visit us at http://www.humanities.uci.edu/~mclark/seapage.htm.

SUBMIT!
Mail four hard copies of your revised Americanist paper from the 2004 ASECS conference or an ASECS affiliate society’s 2003-’004 conference -- double-spaced, 6,000 words maximum, with your name appearing only on the cover sheet, along with your mailing address, and e-mail;  panel title, chair’s name, date of presentation, and name of conference -- to:
