*THE 2019 IAMHIST- MICHAEL NELSON PRIZE *

*FOR A WORK IN MEDIA AND HISTORY *





The IAMHIST-MICHAEL NELSON PRIZE FOR A WORK IN MEDIA AND HISTORY is a
biennial prize awarded for the book, radio or television program or series,
film, DVD, CD-ROM, or URL making the best contribution on the subject of
media and history, which has been published or shown in the preceding two
years.



The prize is dedicated to Michael Nelson, whose passion for media and
journalism inspired IAMHIST throughout the years.  For more information on
Michael Nelson, please consult: *www.michaelnelsonbooks.com
<http://www.michaelnelsonbooks.com>*



Two awards will be made.  The first, a prize of $1000, will be for the best
contribution by a book; the second, a prize of $1000 will be for the best
contribution by a (multi) media contribution.  This second prize will
consider media such as films, CD-ROMs, and URLs separately from print
media, in the hope of encouraging the submission of scholarly work in
non-print media.



Submissions for the 2019 IAMHIST Prize for a Work in Media and History
should reach the committee before September 30, 2018. The prize will be
awarded for a publication and (multi) media contribution on the subject of
media and history published or shown between September 2016 – September
2018.



The prize was awarded for the first time in 2007, at the XXIInd IAMHIST
conference in Amsterdam. The winner was Wendy Webster (University of
Central Lancashire), for her book ENGLISHNESS AND EMPIRE, 1939-1965 (Oxford
University Press, 2005).  Thanks to an especially strong field of entries,
two winners were chosen in 2009: RECONSTRUCTING AMERICAN HISTORICAL CINEMA
FROM ‘CIMMARON TO ‘CITIZEN KANE,’ by Jennifer E. Smyth (University of
Warwick), and VOICES IN RUINS: GERMAN RADIO AND NATIONAL RECONSTRUCTION IN
THE WAKE OF TOTAL WAR, by Alexander Badenoch (Technical University of
Eindhoven). Both works were cited by the prize committee as making
outstanding contributions to the field, based on excellence of research,
originality, accessibility, and scholarly usefulness.  In 2011, the prize
was awarded to It’s the Pictures That Got Small: Hollywood Film Stars on
1950s Television (2009), by Christine Becker.  In 2013, the first year of
the multi-media prize, the recipients were: J. EDGAR HOOVER GOES TO THE
MOVIES: THE FBI AND THE ORIGINS OF HOLLYWOOD’S COLD WAR, by James
Sbardellati, and THE MEDIA HISTORY DIGITAL LIBRARY (
www.mediahistoryproject.org). In 2015, the recipients were How It Feels to
Be Free: Black Women Entertainers and the Civil Rights Movement, by Ruth
Feldstein (book) and Brave Little Belgium, produced by VRT (multi-media).
In 2017, the sole recipient was Shelley Stamp’s Lois Weber in Early
Hollywood.
