Dissertation Prize

The Center for Digital Humanities is pleased to announce that we are accepting nominations for the Digital Humanities Dissertation Prize, which recognizes exceptional doctoral work with a digital humanities component by recipients of Princeton PhDs. Applicants may self-nominate, as long as they secure a letter of recommendation from a Princeton faculty member.

Nominees for this year's Prize must have defended their dissertation (FPO) between January 1, 2024 and December 31, 2024. The extended deadline for nominations is June 27, 2025 (11:59 pm). The prize carries an award of $2,000.

International students intending to apply for the Prize should contact the CDH first, due to the complexities of processing honoraria after student visas have expired.

For consideration, please submit the following materials to cdh-info@princeton.edu :

1. Dissertation abstract
2. Completed dissertation
3. Letter of recommendation from a faculty member (typically a dissertation adviser), which can arrive after the deadline and need not be specific to the CDH Dissertation Prize

Please send the first two items as PDF attachments. Letters of recommendation should be sent separately to the same address (cdh-info@princeton.edu) and may be attached as PDFs or written in the text of an email. Please use the subject line “Submission for CDH Dissertation Prize.”

Please email cdh-info@princeton.edu with any questions.
