Details of the Prize

Submissions should consist of a paper between 6,000 and 8,000 words of a quality that is suitable for publication on topic in any field within Iberian and Latin American Studies.

The submissions will be judge by a panel comprising the General Editor of the Bulletin of Hispanic Studies, the Editor-in-Chief of the Bulletin of Spanish Studies, the General Editor of the Bulletin of Contemporary Hispanic Studies and the Editor-in-Chief of the Bulletin of Spanish Visual Studies, and the President or Chair of the Trustees of the Association of Hispanists of Great Britain and Ireland (or another member of the Executive Board as appointed by the President).

Two prices will be awarded each year. The prize winners will be offered the opportunity to submit their winning papers to the Bulletin of Hispanic Studies or the Bulletin of Spanish Studies, or either of their sibling journals the Bulletin of Contemporary Hispanic Studies or the Bulletin of Spanish Visual Studies, as recommended by the panel. Peer review at all journals will still apply, but on the basis of one review (with the prize panel constituting the other reviewer).
