The Raymond J. Cunningham Prize for the Best Article by an Undergraduate

The American Historical Association offers the Raymond J. Cunningham Prize for the best article written by an undergraduate student and published in a history department journal. This prize, to be awarded annually, was established in memory of Raymond J. Cunningham, who was an associate professor of history at Fordham University. He was an authority on the American historian, Herbert Baxter Adams.

To be eligible for the prize, the article must have been published in a history department journal.

To be considered for the 2010 competition, the entry must have been published between May 1, 2009, and April 30, 2010.

Each history department journal may nominate ONE article. Only entries from a journal will be accepted. Each nomination must include a brief letter of support (no more than two pages) along with the article submitted as an entry.

One copy of each entry must be sent to each of the prize committee members (whose names will be announced in February 2010).

The winning author and the winning journal will each receive a $200 prize.

Entries must be postmarked by or on MAY 15, 2010 to be eligible for the 2010 competition.
