It is the policy of the OAH to honor those applicants who submit their applications on or before the stated deadline date. Applications that are not received by close of business on the deadline date will not be considered. The deadlines provided refer to the dates by which each award or prize committee member should receive a copy of the submission to be considered. Bound page proofs may be used for books to be published after the deadline for each book award and before January 1 of the following year. If a bound page proof is submitted, a bound copy of the entry must be received no later than January 7 of the year in which the award or prize is given. 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 the committee members.
