Announcement of the Evans Biography Award

Brigham Young University
Announces the 1984
David Woolley Evans and Beatrice Evans Biography Award

A prize of $10,000 will be awarded for a distinguished biography of any person significant in the culture or history of what may be called Mormon Country. (Mormon Country is generally regarded as extending throughout the Intermountain West of the United States but also includes Southern Canada and Northern Mexico.) If manuscripts are submitted, they should be book length and ready for publication. If books are submitted, they should have been published within 1984. All authors, regardless of religious affiliation, are invited to submit entries. Entries are not limited to Mormon subjects.

This award is made possible by a generous grant to Brigham Young University from David Woolley Evans, Beatrice Cannon Evans, and other members and friends of the Evans family. The judging will be by members of the Governing Board of the Biography Award or other qualified judges appointed by them. Among others, board members include

Jeffrey R. Holland
president of Brigham Young University
Howard Lamar
Coe Professor of American History, Yale University
Merlo Pusey
eminent biographer and former Washington Post associate editor

Decisions of the judges will be final.
