Jim Springer Borck Essay Prize

The Mardi Gras Conference sponsors an annual essay contest to honor the memory of Prof. Jim Borck. All presenters are eligible to enter.

Submit electronic entries to mitchfrye@gmail.com by January 20, 2010. We are using a blind submission format (author's name and affiliation removed from the essay), so papers will need to be prefaced by a cover letter providing contact information and essay title. These entries will be forwarded to a reading committee comprised of two LSU professors and two LSU graduate students. Papers will be judged on their overall quality, and the prize will be awarded at the conference dinner.

The contest winner will receive $150-- with the stipulation that $100 must be donated to the American Diabetes Association.
