Each year, LRG awards nine student prizes to undergraduate and postgraduate students for outstanding dissertations or theses written in English, with three awards available for each level of study (undergraduate, Masters and Doctoral dissertations). All submissions must be uploaded here in Adobe PDF format, after receipt of nominating letters from relevant Directors of Programmes.
The Submission Process
A nominated student will find their name on a pull-down list once an appropriate letter has been received from their programme director. It is then up to the student to submit a PDF document of no more than 25MB, along with appropriate contact information. No award is possible without nomination from the appropriate programme director. As such, all nominating letters will be verified. Submissions are for work completed and awarded in 2011. Undergraduate submissions should be submitted no later than 15 September, MA submissions no later than 15 November and PhD submissions no later than 31 December. Awards will be announced by May 2012.
