The Folk Belief and Religious Folklife Section of the American
Folklore Society invites submissions for the Don Yoder Prize for the Best
Student paper in Folk Belief or Religious Folklife, which carries a $100
honorarium, to be awarded at the AFS 2001 Annual Meeting in Anchorage,
Alaska. Papers written by undergraduate or graduate students on the topic
of folk belief or religious
folklife (broadly construed) that have been presented (or accepted for
presentation) at a conference or colloquium, or papers that have been
published (or accepted for publication) in a scholarly journal or book
within the last two years are eligible. Conference papers must be fully
footnoted for a reading audience. One submission per person, please.
Judges this year are Andy Kolovos (Indiana University at Bloomington),
Patrick Polk (UCLA) and Maria Teresa Agozzino (UC Berkeley).
Applicants should send the following materials to Elizabeth Nixon at the

cover letter specifying the conference or colloquium where the
paper has been or will be presented or where it has been or will be
published, (3) a short (100-word) biographical statement about the
author and (4) a letter from a faculty sponsor endorsing
submission of the paper (please note this letter should accompany the
