The prizes will total a minimum of $1,800. The competition is open to active undergraduate and graduate students who have previously not won the award. Papers may be of a theoretical or applied nature. They will be judged on the following criteria: (1) potential contribution to the use of mathematical models, statistical techniques and other technological and computational approaches for analyzing spatial phenomena in any subfield of geography; (2) appropriate and sound use of methodology; (3) originality; (4) organization and written composition of the paper; and (5) quality of oral presentation. Students wishing to enter the competition should submit the title and 250-word abstract of their paper to SAM Board Member Enki Yoo ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>) after registering to attend the 2015 AAG. Students should also include the PIN from their registration so that SAM can coordinate with the AAG to place competition papers into special sessions. The deadline to enter the competition is October 31, 2014. All students entering the competition must submit their completed papers in .doc or .pdf format to the same e-mail address ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>) by March 1, 2015. Late submissions will not be accepted. The paper must be based on research primarily conducted while the student was at an accredited university. Each entrant must submit a statement with their completed paper from a university faculty member, preferably their undergraduate or graduate advisor, describing the role of the student in completing the paper. The same paper may not be submitted multiple years. The title page of the submitted paper should include the name, current affiliation, mailing address, telephone number and e-mail address of the entrant. The following page should include only the title of the paper and an abstract. No identifying information should appear anywhere else than on the title page of the paper. Papers should be no longer than 35 double-spaced pages, including tables, figures and references. A panel of judges will review the papers before the AAG meeting. The judges will also evaluate student presentations. The winner(s), if any, will be announced at the SAM specialty group business meeting and at the AAG Awards Luncheon. The judges' decision, including the possibility of not awarding a prize, is final.
