3. Deadline for submissions: Wednesday, April 4, 2013, 4:00 pm

Read all of the prize winning papers.

Both Research Prizes are open to all students who completed a research paper in ENGL 101, or First-Year Seminar (FSEM) during the last calendar year (spring, summer, or fall semesters, 2012).

The contest is sponsored by the duPont-Ball Library to encourage the thorough, effective, creative, and ethical uses of research resources. $200 in prizes may be awarded for each prize.

The Evans C. Johnson Research Prize may be awarded each spring to a student whose documented research paper in ENGL 101 or a First-Year Seminar (FSEM) from the previous calendar year shows thorough, effective, creative, and ethical uses of the library and research resources.

The monetary award is given by an anonymous donor in memory of Dr. Evans C. Johnson, Stetson University Professor of History 1953-1997. Dr. Johnson required students to illustrate effective use of research resources in papers for his courses, and this award is designed to reward such scholarship. In addition to the monetary award, the winner will receive an engraved plaque.

The R. Neil Scott Research Prize may be awarded each spring to a student whose documented research paper in ENGL 101, or a First-Year Seminar (FSEM) from the previous calendar year shows thorough, effective, creative, and ethical uses of the library and research resources. The R. Neil Scott Prize will give preference to papers dealing with the general themes of business or economics.

The monetary award is given in memory of Stetson alumnus and former Stetson librarian, R. Neil Scott, MBA,'82. In addition to the monetary award, the winner will receive an engraved plaque.

The winner(s) will be notified in April. Winners will be asked to submit copies of their papers in WORD format for the library's website.
