The first place winner will receive their choice of two books from the Cornell University Press catalog. Both first and second place winning papers will be published on the Southeast Asia Digital Library.

Winning papers will demonstrate the student’s ability to support original research with analysis of primary source materials. Papers that reference materials held in Southeast Asia Digital Library collections will be given increased consideration.
