Condon Prize for Best Student Essay in Psychological Anthropology

The Society for Psychological Anthropology each year awards the Richard G. Condon Prize for the best student essay (graduate or undergraduate)in psychological anthropology. The winner is awarded a year's membership in the Society, $250 toward travel to the anual meeting of the American Anthropological Association, and publication of the paper in Ethos (after appropriate revision as necessary).

The prize is named for the late Richard G. Condon, whose work included the study of adolescence, family, and change among the Canadian Inuit. Psychological anthropology is defined broadly to include interrelationships among psychological, social and cultural phenomena; it is not confined to studies of culture and personality. Essays will be judged on their organization and clarity, as well as upon their theoretical and methodological strengths. This year's winner will be recognized at the SPA Business Meeting held at annual meetings of the AAA.

Papers submitted for consideration in next year's competition should follow these guidelines:

• No evidence of the author's identity may be provided in any way through the text or by reference in the paper.
• The author's name and address, student affiliation, and the title of the paper must be provided on a separate cover sheet accompanying the manuscript, which should be identified by the title
• Authors must be students at the time of writing the paper, and entries should be accompanied by a photocopy of the student identification card
• Papers must not exceed 35 double-spaced pages and must follow the style of Ethos
