Call for nominations: Nora and Ted Sterling Prize in Support of Controversy (by Jan 31)

SECOND CALL FOR NOMINATIONS for the Nora and Ted Sterling Prize in Support of Controversy

Nomination forms are available on the web at www.sfu.ca/sterlingprize

The Nora and Ted Sterling Prize in Support of Controversy is awarded annually to a recipient whose work presents new ways of looking at the world, ways that are daring and creative. Whether a student, a staff member, an academic at SFU, or a member of the community who has a connection to the University, the prize winner is selected for decidedly unconventional and distinctly untraditional work that provokes a wide audience. The winner receives a cash award of $5,000 and makes a public presentation at the Wosk Centre for Dialogue.

Additional information about the Sterling Prize, including the Nomination Form, can be found at: http://www.sfu.ca/sterlingprize/. Deadline for Nominations is January 31, 2007.

The Sterling Prize Committee would appreciate receiving notice of intention to nominate. Whether you're planning to put together a nomination package, or would like to suggest an individual whose work merits consideration, please contact the committee at vpacad@sfu.ca.
