The Rawlinson Center at Western Michigan University announces the eighth Paul E. Szarmach Prize, to be awarded in May 2026. It consists of an award of $500 to the author of a first article on a topic in the culture and history of early medieval England published in a peer-reviewed scholarly journal that is judged by the selection committee to be of outstanding quality. Articles written in any language are eligible. To be eligible for the 2026 prize, the article must have appeared in a journal bearing a publication date of 2024. The selection committee considers “first article” in the broadest possible terms, and an antecedent publication, depending upon its nature, will not necessarily compromise eligibility. All articles that might be considered eligible should be nominated. The application deadline has been extended to November 15.
