The Jill Roe Prize will be awarded annually for the best unpublished article-length work (5,000-8,000 words) of historical research in any area of historical enquiry, produced by a postgraduate student enrolled for a History degree at an Australian university.

The Award honours the career of Professor Emerita Jill Roe, an eminent Australian historian who has made a very significant contribution to the writing, teaching and public communication of history in Australia and abroad. The Award will consist of a cash payment and a citation, presented annually at the Australian Historical Association (AHA) national conference. In addition to the prize the winning entry will be considered for publication in History Australia – the journal of the AHA.

The Jill Roe Prize has a deadline of 31 March 2014.

Please note: candidates for AHA prizes must be members of the Australian Historical Association.
