The East Asian Studies Center is seeking quality research papers and essays from Ohio State students for this year’s Undergraduate Writing Prize competition. Faculty members are encouraged to recommend students to submit their work for consideration. The papers/essays can derive from any discipline and methodological framework as long as issues pertinent to East Asia are either the focus of the paper or form a vital component of a comparative project.
CriteriaAwards will be given for work that combines synthesis of existing scholarship with original analysis in the following categories:
All work must have been written in English for courses taught between June 2007 and June 2008. Students may submit one paper in each of the two categories. Students must be currently enrolled at Ohio State in order to be eligible. AwardsThe amount of the awards will range from $100 to $250 dollars for research papers and $50 to $150 dollars for essays. If the submitted papers/essays do not meet the committee’s criteria of originality, soundness and clarity, the committee reserves the right not to issue any award.

Deadline and Application ProcessThe deadline for receipt of the papers/essays to be considered for the awards is June 6, 2008, 4 p.m. To be considered, students must submit four clean, hard copies of the paper devoid of all forms of identification.
