SUMMARY:Andrew Rippin Best Paper Prize Deadline
DESCRIPTION:The International Qur’anic Studies Association (IQSA) will award a prize to the best paper from IQSA’s 2025 Annual Meeting by a graduate student or early career scholar (Ph.D. awarded 2020 or later)\, in honor of Andrew Rippin\, inaugural president of the learned society. The prize winner will receive $500. In addition\, the award committee will provide him/her with detailed feedback and guidance enabling him/her to expand the paper into a scholarly article that qualifies for publication in the Journal of the International Qur’anic Studies Association (JIQSA)\, subject to peer review. \nInterested scholars should submit a draft of the paper which they read at the most current Annual Meeting (2025\, in Los Angeles); this draft should be no longer than fifteen double-spaced pages (or 3750 words including bibliography). The award committee does not expect at this stage a “journal-ready” version (and so limited footnotes\, or no footnotes\, are acceptable). Please do not submit slides. Submissions should be emailed to contactus@iqsaweb.org by February 14\, 2026. The prize winner will be announced at the end of February. The winner should then be prepared to submit a fully revised version of the winning article to JIQSA by May 31\, 2026 (the prize winner of the “Andrew Rippin Best Paper Prize” commits to submitting the paper to JIQSA). Publication of the final version is contingent upon review by the award committee and editorial staff of JIQSA. \nQuestions? Email contactus@iqsaweb.org. We look forward to receiving your submissions! \nProfessor Andrew Rippin (1950–2016)
