The Australian Society for Sports History (ASSH)
offers a range of Awards and Honours to recognise service, contribution and
achievement within sports history. The Awards and Honours are coordinated by
the Awards Committee, a Subcommittee of the Executive which is chaired by a
former President and two Executive members. This Committee currently
consists of Douglas Booth (Interim Chair) and Murray Phillips.
Over a two-year period there will be four formal awards/honours that may be
awarded. Each of the prizes are awarded biennially. Winners of the four biennial
awards will be announced at the Sporting Traditions Conference dinner. The
four awards/honours are:
1. ASSH Book Award
2. ASSH Postgraduate Essay Prize
3. ASSH Fellowship
4. ASSH Service Award
For a list of previous
winners of these awards, please click here.
Please note that as of 2010, the ASSH Honours Award has been
superseded by the ASSH Postgraduate Essay Award. Honours graduates should
condense their dissertations into a summary paper of 7000 words (max) and
submit for consideration.
