PRIZE

The Children's Folklore Section of the American Folklore

Society announces competition for the 1990 W. W. Newell Prize.
A $100 cash award for the best student essay on a topic in
children's folklore will be awarded. The paper must have been
written by an undergraduate or graduate student within the 1989-
1990 academic year. Papers published by students within the same
time frame are also eligible. Students may submit their own
papers; instructors are asked to encourage students with eligible
papers to enter the competition.

Papers must be typed, double-spaced, on white bond paper. On
the first page include the author's name, academic address, home
address, and telephone numbers.

The winner will receive a $100 award at the annual meeting of
the American Folklore Society in October 1990. The winning
paper does not have to be read at the meeting but entrants are
encouraged to submit abstracts of their papers to the AFS Program
Committee. If the winning paper is read at the meeting it will be
identified as the winner of the Newell Prize.

Deadline for submissions is July I, 1990. Send 2 copies of each
entry to:

From the Editor:
The original plan, when the Children's Folklore Newsletter

became the Children's Folklore Review a year ago, was to go
to a new format with this issue. As you can see, that has not
happened. At this point, CFS Treasurer Danielle Roemer and
I are investigating the rules and regulations (AFS and others)
for accepting paid advertising in an AFS publication as such
additional revenues will be necessary for an expanded
publication. We are moving ahead. Watch this space for
further developments.
