We are pleased to announce our third annual cross-institutional NYCDH digital humanities graduate student project award. (As of Monday, August 15, 2016 submissions for the student project award have been closed.)
First prize winner(s) will receive a cash prize of $1000. Two runner up positions will receive $500 each. All three winning proposals will have the opportunity to receive support from one or more of the many centers affiliated with NYCDH.
