Members of the College Language Association may nominate members for outstanding literary, linguistic scholarship, and noted creative projects.

The nominator and nominee must be paid financial members for the year of nomination. Books are eligible for consideration in the year of publication and the following year; thus, the Awards Committee may accord an award for a two-years’ period based on the number of nominations. The deadline for nominations is December 1st.

The chair of the Awards Committee will acknowledge nominations to the author as well as provide contact information for the committee. It is the responsibility of the nominee to contact publishers and/or marketing representatives to mail copies of the book under consideration directly to the committee.
