By the same date a message must be sent to the same address by the entrant’s tutor or supervisor stating that the entrant is a registered undergraduate or a bona fide postgraduate student and that, as far as the writer is aware, beyond initial consultation the essay is the entrant’s own unaided work. The entry must indicate for which competition it is intended and include the entrant’s name, the academic institution where they are registered and the name and e-mail address of their tutor/supervisor. The prize in each competition will be publication of the winning essay in the Society’s journal Pirandello Studies, volume 34 (2014), whose editor may advise the author about modifications prior to publication. In each competition the judges reserve the right to award no prize if they deem no entry to have reached an appropriate standard. The results of the competitions will be communicated by electronic mail to all entrants by 1 September 2013. The judges’ decisions will be final and no correspondence about them will be entered into. ********************************************************************** To join the list, send the message: subscribe italian-studies YOUR NAME to: [log in to unmask] To send a message to the list, address it to: [log in to unmask] To leave the list, send the message: unsubscribe italian-studies to: [log in to unmask] In order to report problems or to contact the list's owners, write to: [log in to unmask] For further information, visit our web site: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/italian-studies
