*Comics Studies Society Prizes 2022: Call for Nominations*

*Nomination Deadline: March 25th, 2022*


The Comics Studies Society (CSS) recognizes outstanding contributions to
the study of comic art with five annual prizes: the CSS Article Prize, the
Hillary Chute Award for Best Graduate Student Paper, the Gilbert Seldes
Prize for Public Scholarship, the Charles Hatfield Book Prize, and the CSS
Prize for Edited Book Collections.



*The CSS defines comic art as the category of artistic production that
incorporates all forms of cartooning, sequential art, and graphic
narrative. This includes, but is not limited to, the following forms: comic
strips, comic books, papers, and magazines; albums, graphic novels, and
other graphic books; webcomics and other electronic formats; single-panel
cartoons, including editorial and gag cartoons; caricature; animation; and
other related forms and traditions.*



The CSS is currently soliciting nominations for all five prizes, which will
be awarded at the 5th Annual Conference of the Comics Studies Society (July
28th-30th, 2022). Winners will receive a $300 cash award and a plaque.
Please see the CSS Website <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://comicsstudies.org/css-2022-conference/__;!!KGKeukY!lPSOWCd5pdN-9f6Et7PL4nU3VYS0zpnEU5RG8ZikwLmARHZVJDR62AY9BS9qGAtEuDOsHwxEANdf$ > for
conference details.



   - Nominations for the CSS prizes may be historical, biographical,
   critical, analytical, pedagogical, and/or bibliographical in focus.
   - Nominations should draw on original research, acknowledge and advance
   existing scholarship where relevant, and include appropriate documentation
   and citation.
   - Reprints of or excerpts from previously published works are not
   eligible for prizes.
   - Each piece of scholarship may only be nominated once across all
   categories of the CSS Prizes, and individuals nominated for a CSS Prize may
   only have one piece of scholarship competing in each category. However,
   nominees may compete simultaneously in multiple categories per awards cycle.
   - While individuals nominated for all CSS Prizes *do not need* to be
   members, *only** members can nominate scholars for the CSS Prizes.* Please
