Dear All,
From 2010, the SCGRG will offer an annual prize of £100 for the best Undergraduate Dissertation in Social and Cultural Geography and £50 for the Runner-Up. Both prize-winners will also receive a year’s personal subscription to the journal Social & Cultural Geography published by Taylor & Francis.
Please see the SCGRG mission statement (http://www.scgrg.org/) for our definition of what is considered social and cultural geography. Nominated dissertations should be – an outstanding theoretical and/or empirical piece of work; usually over 10,000 words in length; submitted for formal assessment in the 2009/10 academic year to a UK Higher Education Institution for a BA/BSc level degree programme in geography; and written in English. Please note that a department may not submit more than one entry and nominated dissertations should not be submitted for consideration for any other RGS prizes.
Submission procedure
Nominations are requested from the Head of Department by Friday 16th July 2010. All dissertations should be submitted as a single pdf file of less than 25MB in size, along with a copy of the appropriate departmental dissertation regulations and a post-September contact address for the student. Submissions should be emailed to [log in to unmask]
