The Jill Roe Prize will be awarded annually for the best unpublished article-length work (5,000-8,000 words) of historical research in any area of historical enquiry, produced by a postgraduate student enrolled for a History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 AHA national conference. In addition to the prize the winning entry will be considered for publication in History Australia–the journal of the Australian Historical Association.

The Jill Roe Prize will be administered by a judging panel appointed by the AHA, consisting of a Chair selected by the AHA Executive, and two professional historians. The decision of the panel will be final.

Applications open in December each year and close on 31 March the following year.

• Applicants will be required to provide
• a digital copy of their work
• a completed entry form that contains a statement from the author confirming the originality of the work
