Call for Abstracts:
The 2013 Student Tourism and Heritage Paper and Poster Competitions
The Tourism and Heritage TIG Student Paper Competition:
Student papers should entail original research on the themes of
“tourism” and/or “heritage” broadly defined, including topics such as
heritage, archaeology and tourism, ecotourism, and cultural resource
management. Top papers will be selected for inclusion in an organized
session at the 2013 SfAA annual meeting in Denver, and an award will
be presented to the best paper in the session. Eligible students must
be enrolled in a graduate or undergraduate degree program at the time
they submit their paper. Submission must be original work of
publishable quality. The work may be undertaken alone or in
collaboration with others, but for papers with one or more co-authors,
an enrolled student must be the paper’s first author.
The competition involves a two-step process. Step one involves the
solicitation and selection of expanded paper abstracts (of 500 words
or less) for the organized session. Abstracts must be submitted by
SEPTEMBER 15, 2012 to Melissa Stevens at [log in to unmask]
Students selected for participation in the session will then submit
full papers for judging by the February 1, 2013 deadline. The winning
paper will receive a cash award of $500 and will be honored at the
2013 SfAA meetings in Denver.
The Valene Smith Tourism Poster Competition:
This is a special competition for the best posters on the theme of
"tourism," broadly defined, including topics such as heritage,
archaeology and tourism, ecotourism, and cultural resource management,
during the annual meeting. Posters are an excellent means of
communicating your research and allow you to interact directly with
others interested in your work. Three cash prizes will be awarded -
$500 for first prize, $300 for second prize, and $200 for third prize.
Poster abstracts are submitted directly through the SfAA website
(www.sfaa.net). Please go to the SfAA web site for additional
information on the Meetings and the poster abstract submission
process. You will also find a more detailed description of the
Competition as well as information on the winners from previous years
(click on "Awards" and go to "Valene Smith Prize"). The deadline for
the receipt of poster abstracts for the 2013 Competition is OCTOBER
15, 2013.
