New Student Essay Contest Vernacular Georgia is pleased to announce the Douglas F. Seymour Prize In Vernacular Scholarship. This is an annual $500 prize to be awarded to the best paper produced by an undergraduate or graduate student on a topic addressing the vernacular in the built environment of Georgia. By vernacular, we mean both the range of ordinary structures from houses to strip-malls, as well as broader cultural landscapes, or groupings of buildings and other aspects of the built environment, as well as studies which treat what might be considered "hi-style" buildings in a manner that addresses their human component--be they related to issues such as gender, race, politics, economics, or culture generally. Judging will be based on three components: Content (what the essay says), Research (how well facts and interpretations are uncovered), and Writing (how it says it). Students MUST present a version of the paper at the annual Vernacular Georgia paper session in order to win. This coming year the paper session will be part of the Georgia Association of Historians annual meeting to be held in Columbus, April 8-9, 2005. The prize committee will consist of the Vernacular Georgia board. Deadline for submissions: March 1, 2005. Please submit 7 copies of the paper to: Daves Rossell Chair, Vernacular Georgia c/o Department of Architectural History Savannah College of Art and Design PO Box 3146 Savannah, Georgia 31402-3146 E-submissions, and any questions are also welcome to: erossell@scad.edu
