CHASS Australia Prize for a Book in the Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences – Call For Applications

The Council for the Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences (CHASS) invites applications for the CHASS Australia Prize for a Book in the Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences ($3500).

Nominees in this category must have published a non-fiction book (e-books are acceptable) in any HASS area between the dates of 1 January 2014 and 31 December 2014. Self-nominations are acceptable. Books should be by a single author or, at most, two authors. ​The book may have been published overseas, but the nominee must be an Australian citizen or permanent resident. Self-published books and e-books will be considered if the author can provide evidence that the book has been peer-reviewed. All works must be in English; unpublished manuscripts are not eligible. Books are not required to deal solely with Australian topics. For example, biographies of non-Australians and books about events that took place outside of Australia are acceptable.

The ​CHASS prize will be awarded to the author whose book, in the opinion of the judges, contributes most to cultural and intellectual life in Australia. Five copies of the application form, nominated book or CD (for an e-book) are required for judging. A single author can submit up to four books. Application materials and books will not be returned to applicants. Incomplete applications will not be considered.
