First, the University of Louisville is currently accepting nominations for the 11th annual Grawemeyer Award in Ideas Improving World Order. Administered by the Department of Political Science, this award carries a cash prize of one- hundred fifty thousand dollars ($150,000). Nominations for the 1998 competition must be received by October 31, 1997. The submission process is relatively simple, nominators must complete a one page form and a nomination letter. Self-nomination is permitted. Second, please also make note of the world wide web home page for the Grawemeyer World Order Award. This location hosts some material about the nomination and selection processes and a list of past winners and their prize winning work. Additional information is added periodically. The address for the web page is: http://www.louisville.edu/ur/onpi/grawemeyer Third, I will be attending the APSA meetings next week in Washington and would be happy to meet with prospective nominees or nominators--or those curious about the award. You might want to contact me in advance. Please note that I will not be available on Thursday the 28th.
