Awards:

Best Paper Award
We are now soliciting nominations for the Award for the best paper presented at the previous year's APSA Annual Meeting featuring experimental analyses. As we did not have an organized section this year, the criteria for being nominated is simply that (a) the paper was presented at APSA and (b) that it features experimental analysis. Chairs and discussants are especially encouraged to nominate papers, but nominations from anyone who saw an interesting paper (as well as self-nominations) are welcome as well.

Please email a copy of the paper in .pdf format along with a brief sentence or two about why you are nominating the paper to all three members of the committee. Please include "APSA Experiments Best Paper Nomination" in the subject line of your e-mail. Nominations will be accepted through May 1, 2012.
