EWELL L. NEWMAN AWARD
CALL FOR ENTRIES

To recognize and encourage outstanding publications enhancing appreciation of American prints before 1900, the award consists of a framed citation and $500.

Small and large works, those of narrow scope and those with broad general coverage are equally considered. Original research, fresh assessments, and the fluent synthesis of known material will all be taken into account. The emphasis is on quality and on making an outstanding contribution to the subject. Exhibition catalogues, monographs, articles, and works based on local sources are eligible.

Publications remain eligible for a period of roughly two years after they first appear.  Once a work has been passed on by the Jury it will not be considered again except in a substantially revised edition.  Jurors are five collectors, authors, and scholars of American historical prints.  

The most recent Award, presented at the Society’s annual conference, honors American Botanical Prints of Two Centuries, the catalogue of an exhibition at the Hunt Institute for Botanical Documentation in Pittsburgh.  The volume serves as a useful reference work about American illustrations of plants, a broad field of collecting interest which had not previously been surveyed.  Read a press release on the latest award, or review a list of past winners.
