The prize is a certificate and $2500 (AUD).

The closing date for submissions is 27 February 2009.

For application details: http://www.nma.gov.au/research/graduate_programs/student_prize_applications/

Note that the prize requires that applicants undertook the RESEARCH for the essay as students, not that they are currently enrolled students.You just have to show that you undertook the research while you were a student (at any level at any university). An academic supervisor should endorse this, if you are not currently enrolled.

Judges are looking for contributions to Australian environmental history, but a comparative approach that includes environmental history from other places is also acceptable.
