This shall include works that study any aspect of Italian literature and culture including literary or cultural theory, science, history, art, music, society, politics, cinema, and linguistics, preferably but not necessarily relating other disciplines to literature. For the next competition, the committee solicits submission of works published in 2008 by current members of the association. The Scaglione Prize for Italian Studies, which consists of $2,000 and a certificate, will be presented to the winning author at the association's annual convention in December 2009. To enter a work into the competition, authors or publishers should send four copies and a letter identifying the work and confirming the author's membership in the MLA to the Scaglione Prize for Italian Studies, Modern Language Association, 26 Broadway, 3rd floor, New York, NY 10004-1789. Entries may be submitted at any time but must be received by 1 May 2009. Publishers may submit more than one title, but no book may be entered in more than one MLA competition. Shipping labels should indicate the names of the prizes for which the books are competing. For further information, call or write the Modern Language Association (646 576-5141; awards@mla.org).
