Call for Submissions to the First Annual BAFTSS Awards


Best Postgraduate Student Essay (BAFTSS Student members enrolled during
the period between 1 January 2011 and 31 December 2011 on postgraduate
degree courses in Film, Television or Screen Studies at a British
University). Submissions in this category should be between 4,000 and
6,000 words, including footnotes and bibliography. Essays must not have
been previously published, but should be of a standard that they could be
submitted in their present form to a peer-reviewed journal. They can
include work that has been submitted fully or in parts as an assessed
degree requirement (coursework, dissertation chapter etc.). Essays
written specifically for the competition are also eligible.



Deadline for all submissions is May 31, 2012.



Apart from submitting their own work, members may nominate the work of
fellow members. In the latter case, contact details of both nominators
and nominees must be supplied, and the nominated author must consent to
being nominated. Publishers are welcome to submit the work of their
authors, provided these are BAFTSS members. Publishers themselves do not
need to be BAFTSS members. Only one item across all categories can be
submitted by (or for) each member. The BAFTSS Awards Committee will
determine the winners. The awards will be presented at a special ceremony
during the BAFTTS AGM which we plan to hold on 20 September 2012. Details
will be announced in due course. Award recipients will be notified prior
to the event.

Membership of BAFTSS is open to anybody regardless of nationality, and
book and essay awards are also open to any member who wishes to make a
submission. Given the uncertainty regarding the volume of submissions ­
this being the first year the competition is running ­ we have decided to
restrict the submissions in the category of student essays to UK only. We
envisage that with increased financial and administrative support as
BAFTSS grows, we will open this category as well to all members in future
years.



Submissions should be sent via email in PDF format to the following
