ISHPES is currently accepting applications for the 2020 Early Career Scholar Award. The ISHPES GIGLIOLA GORI AWARD will be presented at the 2020 ISHPES Congress to be held in SAPPORO, JAPAN on August 20-24, 2020.

It is awarded for an unpublished essay of outstanding quality in the field of sport history.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 registered student (undergraduate or graduate) at the time of the Congress or within one year of receiving or having graduated from a program of higher education.

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 The International Journal of Sport History style for format and references.

The main criteria for selection will be based on the young scholar’s original work, the scientific quality of his or her 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.
