2011 OAH RAY ALLEN BILLINGTON PRIZE |
||
| Home | The Ray Allen Billington Prize is given biennially by the Organization of American Historians for the best book about American frontier history, which is defined broadly to include the pioneer periods of all geographical areas, and comparisons between American frontiers and others. First given in 1981, this prize honors Ray Allen Billington, OAH President, 1962-1963. Each entry must be published during the two-year period January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2010. One copy of each entry must be received by each committee member by October 1, 2010. Bound page proofs submitted by the publisher may be used for books to be published after October 1, 2010 and before January 1, 2011. If a bound page proof is submitted, a bound copy of the book must be received no later than January 7, 2011. No late submissions will be accepted. Bound page proofs not followed with a bound copy of the book will not be considered. If a book carries a copyright date that is different from the publication date, but the actual publication date falls during the correct time frame making it eligible, please include a letter of explanation from the publisher with each copy of the book sent to committee members. Please note that it is the policy of the OAH to honor those applicants who have submitted their applications on or before the stated deadline date. Applications which are not received by close of business on the deadline date will not be considered. The winner receives $1,000. The prize will be presented at the 2011 Annual Meeting of the OAH in Houston, Texas, March 17-20. One copy of each entry, clearly labeled "2011 Ray Allen Billington Prize Entry," must be mailed directly to: Kathleen DuVal (Committee Chair) David Rich Lewis Pablo Mitchell
