Rules for Submission

Projects must have been created as part of FYI 101 or FYH 101. Entries from Honors 102 are not permitted.

Only one submission is permitted per student. This means that students may only submit a research paper OR a creative project, not both.

To receive the prize, the student must return to Augustana for their sophomore year.

Successful submissions will show clear use of library materials and services, including research databases, course-embedded library sessions, individual research consultations, and/or other library resources.
