British Association of South Asian Studies Annual conference

Graduate Essay Prize

Every year BASAS awards a prize to the best graduate paper presented at the Annual Conference.

An award of £250 is made for the best graduate paper.

A panel of judges comprising the conference organisers and council members will make the final decision. The winning paper may be considered for publication in one of BASAS’s associated journals, Contemporary South Asia or South Asian Studies.

The submission should consist of a fully finished article with complete citations and works cited rather than a conference presentation. The essay can be up to 8000 words. To submit, please go to our submissions page which can be found here.
