The Urban History Association (UHA) invites submissions to be considered for the award of the association's various prizes, which will be conferred at the UHA's 17th annual dinner in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on January 8, 2006 (during the annual meeting of the American Historical Association). All works to be considered—books, essays, and dissertations—must be in English or in English translation. Membership in the UHA is not a requirement for eligibility. All submissions should be accompanied only by a single sheet containing contact information for the author—current mailing and e-mail addresses and telephone number(s). Letters of recommendation and endorsement are discouraged. The sole criterion will be the quality of the submission. The submissions (three copies in every case) must reach the specified addressee by June 15, 2005.
