Are you a Yale College student who wrote a senior essay in fall 2016 or spring 2017? Does your senior essay include government information or maps? If so, you may be eligible for one of the Library’s senior essay prizes–and $500!
If you used government documents in your senior essay, check out the Harvey M. Applebaum ‘59 Award. This prize recognizes an outstanding senior essay that makes use of government/IGO information from Yale’s collections (U.S., Canada, United Nations, EU, or Food & Agriculture Organization). For more information and to submit your essay: http://guides.library.yale.edu/Applebaum.
If you incorporated maps or GIS into your senior essay, check out the Library Map Prize. This prize honors the Yale College senior essay that makes the best use of maps. For more information and to submit your essay: http://guides.library.yale.edu/MapPrize.
The deadline for both of these awards is Wednesday, April 26, 2017 at 11:59 p.m. Good luck!
