CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
The 2021 Franco Tonelli Memorial Prize in Film & Media Studies
Attention Film and Media Studies Students: In memory of our late colleague and Film Studies founder Professor Franco Tonelli, the Department of Film and Media Studies will once again award a prize of $200 for the best undergraduate essay in the following two categories: (1) film theory and criticism, and (2) television and digital media theory and criticism.
These papers may be of any length and must have been written by a UCI student who has taken at least one Film and Media Studies course during the last academic year (Spring 2019, Summer 2019, Fall 2019, Winter 2020).
Rewritten or revised essays will be accepted and are, in fact, strongly encouraged. We also encourage you to consult with faculty members regarding rewrites. Students may only submit one entry. To be eligible for consideration, email an electronic copy (PDF or Word Document) and a cover sheet to Sylvia Meza-Tallada in the Film and Media Studies office by noon 12:00 pm on Monday, April 5th, 2021. Cover sheets must include the author's name, the paper title, and the course for which the paper was originally written. Author names should not appear anywhere else on the paper to ensure confidentiality.
Submissions are read by a panel of Film and Media Studies faculty who are not given the authors’ names until the winning papers are determined.
For additional information, please contact Sylvia Meza-Tallada at smezatal@uci.edu
