GUIDELINES

The prize is open to all graduate students engaged in study at a college or university after their first degree and having not yet completed their doctorate. Those entering can choose their own topic; however, as with articles already published on Literature Compass, submitted essays should have a survey element, putting the chosen topic in context for the non-specialist. The incorporation of advanced graduate work is strongly encouraged. The upper word limit is 5000 words, INCLUDING endnotes and bibliography. Literature Compass Graduate Essays should be submitted by email as a Word document to: LICOeditorial@oxon.blackwellpublishing.com.

Graduates must specify:

- which section they are entering their essay for
- provide the details of their affiliation
- provide their supervisor's name and email address

Only one entry per person. Winners will be announced at the 2007 MLA conference. For more information, please go to www.literature-compass.com. Good luck!
