The Hacker Prize

The Sally Hacker Prize was established in 1999 to honor exceptional scholarship that reaches beyond the academy toward a broad audience. Any book published in the three years preceding the year of the award is eligible (for example, books eligible for the 2013 award would have been published in 2010–2012). The prize consists of a cash award and a certificate (At left, 2012 recipient, Molly Berger).

Publishers and authors are invited to nominate titles for this prize. To nominate a book, please send one copy to each of the committee members listed below, postmarked by 15 April. While each book is eligible for three years after its publication date, it must be specifically renominated in years two and/or three of eligibility in order to be reconsidered. Renomination requires that a copy of the book be sent to any new committee members, and any returning committee member who previously received the book must receive a letter renominating the book.

For more information, please contact the committee chair or Bernie Carlson, SHOT Secretary, 434.987.6230, shot@virginia.edu.
