The deadline for submission to the Biennial Essay Competition has been extended to February 6, 2026.
Please submit your entries as an email attachment to SEAEssayContest@gmail.com.
All papers presented at our Fourteenth Biennial Conference, this past June, are eligible for consideration. Please limit essays to a maximum of 6,000 words. Your name, the panel title, conference, and date of presentation should appear on a separate cover sheet; any self-reference or self-citation within the body of the essay should be rendered in the third person.
Details about the contest and prize, which will be awarded at the SEA’s 15th Biennial in 2027, can be found on the Essay Contest webpage. Questions can be directed to the Contest chair, Zach Hutchins, at zach.hutchins@colostate.edu.
