The CASS Humanities and Creative Arts ANU E Press Editorial Board is offering a prize of $5,000 for the best completed and passed PhD thesis submitted to it for publication.

Half the prize will be paid in cash to the successful applicant, and the other half will be to meet expenses associated with having the manuscript professionally copy edited and indexed.

Eligibility: Any thesis from a postgraduate student registered with an academic location within CASS that has been passed since 1st January 2005.

There are no forms for the nomination.
