AAG Publication Award
The September 30, 2024 deadline has passed. New applications will not be accepted until next year. Please monitor the website for when the application window reopens.
The AAG Publication Award is conferred in recognition of exceptional and outstanding contributions to the discipline by publishers. Whereas nominations may be made by anyone, note that eligible recipients will be publishers, not individual authors.
One AAG Publication Award may be recommended each year by the AAG Honors Committee, but the award is not necessarily given every year. Note that eligible recipients are publishers, not individual authors. The AAG Media Achievement Award and the AAG Publications Award are selected by the AAG Honors Committee.
To make a nomination:
Nominations are invited from individual AAG members, specialty groups, affinity groups, departments, and other interested parties. A letter of nomination that outlines the rationale for the recognition is required. Although letters of support are not required for a nomination, nomination dossiers may include co-signatures or up to 5 letters documenting the nominee publisher’s contributions to and impact on geography as they relate to the purpose of the award.
Nominations should be submitted by the deadline by completing the online application form. Please gather all required supporting documents before completing the online application. The application form will require you to upload all supporting documents before being able to complete your submission. You cannot save a partially completed form and return to it later so it is important to have all materials ready before accessing the online application form. For questions, please reach out to grantsawards@aag.org.
As with all other AAG awards, eligibility also rests on the candidate being in compliance with the AAG Professional Conduct Policy. Nominations may be rescinded, and the award may also be revoked for any candidate or awardee who is found in violation of the AAG’s Professional Conduct Policy.
