The Hall Center for the Humanities is accepting entries for the 1997 Byron Caldwell Smith Award, which honors a book written by a Kansas author who has published it in 1995 or 1996. Entry deadline is March 1, 1997. A book may be nominated by the author, the publisher or anyone able to provide entry information. The submission must be an original work written by the nominee or by the nominee as a co-author.
Translations are eligible.
Books that are collections of material compiled by an editor are not eligible. Previous winners may submit a new book. Authors must have been a resident of Kansas or employed in Kansas at the time of both publication and nomination. For books written by more than one person, only the nominee need fulfill the Kansas residency requirements. The Byron Caldwell Smith Award was established in 1938 by a bequest of Kate Stephens, a KU alumna who became the university's first woman professor.
