The Program in Medieval Studies offers a yearly prize, in the amount of $500, for the best paper written on a medieval topic for a course at the University of Illinois by a student currently enrolled at the University.  The prize is generously funded by our alumni and is awarded to graduate and undergraduate students in alternating years.  The 2017-18 competition is open to undergraduate students, and the deadline for submission is April 15, 2018.  Please send your paper (format: either word or pdf), with a cover email containing your information (name, major, course and professor) to Prof. Eleonora Stoppino (stoppino@illinois.edu) by April 15, 2018.
