The text should be no more than 25 pages (approximately 8,000 words, double-spaced, exclusive of foot/endnotes or supporting materials, such as illustrations) and must have been written within a calendar year of the deadline. Submissions may draw from previously completed projects (such as a seminar paper, a conference presentation, an MA thesis, or a dissertation chapter), but should be submitted in essay form.

Please note: The presentation time allotted for the paper will be approximately 30 minutes, but this is subject to change depending on the needs of the meeting organizers.

Members of the DVMA are invited to apply for a Travel Grant of up to $1,000 to help defray the cost of travel for research or the presentation of research. 

Priority is given to applications from graduate students, independent scholars, non-tenure-track faculty, and others without access to institutional research and travel accounts.

How to Apply

Applications should include:

  • a statement of current institutional affiliation and graduate advisor (if relevant)
  • a brief but detailed description of the research to be conducted or presented (250-500 words)
  • a list of the site(s) where it will be conducted or presented (including the name of the conference, if applicable) and status of any arrangements that require permission (e.g. visit special collections)
  • an estimate of the travel costs involved
  • a short CV
  • a list of alternative sources of funding for which you are eligible

The DVMA will award $1,000 each year. In the case that the winning application requests less than $1,000, or if there are two equally strong applications, the sum will be divided between two winners.

Submit applications to prizes@dvmamedieval.com by January 15.
