Description of Ideal Candidate
Eligibility

Submission of essays that are interdisciplinary is especially encouraged.
- Entries can be from any discipline, must be published in English or be accompanied by an English translation, and submission of essays that are interdisciplinary is especially encouraged. Articles that appeared in print in a journal or edited collection in 2023 or between January 1, 2024 and June 30, 2024 are eligible for the 2025 Emerging Scholars Award, which will be presented at the 2025 NCSA Conference in New Orleans. (If the official date of publication does not fall within that span but the work in fact appeared between those dates, then it is eligible.)
- Essays published in online, peer-reviewed journals are considered to be “in print” and are thus eligible. The first format in which an article is published, whether print or online is considered to be the official publication date.
- Articles may be submitted by the author or the publisher of a journal, anthology, or volume containing independent essays.
- Articles submitted to the NCSA Article Prize competition are ineligible for the Emerging Scholars Award and vice versa; only one entry per scholar or publisher for one of the two awards is allowed annually.
