The Arizona Historical Convention invites proposals for papers on any aspect of Arizona history for presentation at the Arizona Historical Convention's forty-first annual meeting, which will be held in Yuma. We encourage proposals for complete sessions on a related topic as well as individual submissions.

A panel of judges will award a prize of $500 to the best convention paper. All accepted papers (except those by college students - see Collegiate Award) are eligible.

COLLEGIATE AWARD

A $500 prize goes to the best paper by a college or junior college student (graduate or undergraduate). Indicate the advising professor and institution on the proposal and completed paper.
