Current Opportunities

The Society for the History of Children and Youth offers 12 academic awards spanning 8 languages every biennium. The typical cycle for the awards process is as follows: the juries are formed in the late Summer/Fall; calls for nominations are circulated through social media during the Fall/Winter; deadlines for submission for the previous years publications happen in Winter/Spring; and the announcements are made in the Summer.   

The calls for the 2024 prizes have not yet been issued. Please check back here in late November to read how you can submit your 2024 work for the Fass-Sandin Prize, the Grace Abbott Prize, the dissertation prize, and the biennial article prizes in Italian, German, Spanish, French, and Nordic languages.
