We are pleased to announce that nominations are now open for the PSA Academic Prizes 2018-19! The Prizes celebrate the best academics, books, articles and scholars of the year and the winners will be revealed at the PSA’s Annual Conference Dinner in Nottingham on Tuesday 16th April 2019.

You can find all the information about the individual prizes including how to submit your nominations below, and the deadline for submissions is 11am on 21 January 2019.

The Prize Handbook contains important information about eligibility and the guidelines for each prize. Please ensure you read the Prize Handbook carefully before submitting a nomination.

In line with our ongoing commitment to equality and diversity, the PSA also particularly welcomes nominations from women and black and minority ethnic (BME) scholars, who have been historically under-represented in PSA prize nominations and awards. We also encourage participation from across the HE sector, in particular from post-92 universities.
