Scholar Award. The ISHPES GIGLIOLA GORI AWARD will be presented at the 2018 ISHPES Congress to be held in MÜNSTER, GERMANY on July 18-21, 2018.
It
is awarded for an unpublished essay of outstanding quality in the field
of sport history. Eligible scholars must be a member of ISHPES and a

The essay must be submitted in
English and the text itself (including notes and bibliography) must not
exceed 8,000 words. The essay should conform to IJHS style for format

research and the value of the study from the perspective of
international sport history. A specially chosen committee will review
the articles and select the winner.
Gigliola Gori, a leading sport
historian in Italy and long-time member of ISHPES has very generously
donated a 1000 € prize for this award. The ISHPES GIGLIOLA GORI AWARD
is intended to promote emerging scholarship among young scholars of
sport history world-wide through the organizational support of ISHPES
and its members.
The award winner will receive a 1000 € prize,
