 The Women's Section of the American Folklore Society
 Requests Nominations for


 The Eli Köngas-Maranda Prize


        The Eli Köngas-Maranda Prize is awarded annually for two outstanding
works on  women's traditional, vernacular, or local culture and/or for
work on feminist theory and folklore.  The content of the nominations
must focus on some aspect of women's folklore.

The award goes to the producer/author of an exemplary product
(publication, film, video, exhibit, exhibit catalogue, recording, etc.)
that can inspire further work in the field of women's folklore.  There
are two prize categories for this award:

 Student Prize ($100)
 Non-student/Professional Prize ($250)

        The student nomination must have been presented at the 1999 or 2000 AFS
and must be the paper as it was delivered, rather than an edited version
after the presentation.  If you attended the 1999 AFS meeting and heard a
great
 student presentation, please encourage that person to submit the paper
for
 consideration.  Students should submit three copies of their delivered
 presentation to the prize committee chair (Kelly Feltault) no later than

 10 a.m. on Thursday of the AFS meeting.  I strongly encourage earlier
submissions, even electronic submissions as attachments, to the address
below.

        The non-student prize nomination must have been published/produced
after January 1, 1999.  Please send three copies of the
nomination/submission to the committee chair for distribution to the
committee members.  Nominations for this category must be received by the
committee chair by August 1, 2000.  Those submitting exhibits for
consideration should include a complete script, along with installation
and object photographs.  Those submitting video must also submit three
copies, please label each copy.

The person submitting the nomination is responsible for indicating which
category the nomination is to be considered.

 Both prizes will be presented at the 2000 AFS annual business meeting
and at the Women's Section meeting.  You do not have to be a member of
AFS to win.

Please send entries to:
