The Canadian Studies Specialty Group (CSSG) will announce the winners of its 2004 student paper competition at the Philadelphia meeting of the Association of American Geographers. The competition is open to anyone who presents a paper on Canada, transborder issues (Canada/US), and transnational issues concerning Canada at the 2004 AAG or the 2004 annual meeting of the Canadian Association of Geographers (CAG). The paper must be developed from graduate research (master’s or PhD level) and cannot be under review or accepted for publication by any peer-reviewed journal. Applicants must join the CSSG upon entry. The authors of the top four papers selected from the applicant pool will be expected to present their paper at the CSSG Student Paper Competition session at the 2004 AAG in Philadelphia. When conditions warrant, those students unable to travel to Philadelphia will have their papers read by a member of the CSSG Awards Committee. The winning paper will receive a cash prize of $300 and two consolation prizes of $100 each will also be awarded. Three copies of the paper must be received by the awards committee chair no later than December 19, 2003.
