The Sexuality and Space Specialty Group of the Association of American Geographers is pleased to invite submissions for the 2013 Sexuality and Space Student Paper Competition. Winners will be notified prior to the 2013 Annual Meeting of the AAG in Los Angeles, and will be honoured at the Awards Banquet. The submission deadline is Friday, March 15, 2013.

Eligibility:
Any student currently enrolled in an undergraduate, masters or doctoral degree program in Geography or a related discipline may submit a paper written in the past year (since March 1, 2012). Papers are welcome from students at institutions in or outside of the United States. Students do not necessarily have to be presenting a paper at this year's annual meeting of the Association of American Geographers to be eligible for an award.

Requirements:
We are seeking excellent quality student papers that advance the study of sexuality and space. Papers should be 4000-6000 words in length (including explanatory footnotes/endnotes, but excluding references), with an additional 100-200 word abstract. Figures and images should be included as separate pages rather than embedded within the text. Papers should be properly referenced, although students may choose the citation method they think appropriate. Papers should be in English.

Submission Procedure:
Submissions should be made electronically. Please email Nathaniel Lewis ([log in to unmask]) with the paper attached as a PDF, Microsoft Word, or other standard word processing program file. All submissions will be acknowledged by email; if you do not receive an acknowledgement within 48 hours, please try sending again. Please be sure to include your name, postal address, telephone, and email address on the front cover of your paper, so that we can contact you if necessary.

Deadline: Papers must be received by March 15, 2013 to be considered.
