Fernand Braudel Mediterranean Folklore Student Prize

About this program

The American Folklore Society’s Mediterranean Studies Section offers the Fernand Braudel Prize, including a $500 honorarium, for an outstanding student research project in Mediterranean folklore. Submissions may address any folklore topic and use historical or contemporary perspectives, with projects accepted as papers, written pieces, podcasts, documentaries, or digital exhibits based on original research. Advanced undergraduate and graduate students in folklore or allied disciplines are eligible; previously published work is not accepted, and applicants may submit only one project. Applications are due by midnight July 15 and must include the project, bibliography, cover letter, and a separately submitted letter of support from a professor or sponsor.
